Lunar Discovery: Let the Space Race Begin by Salvador Mercer

Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.

Uff this was badly written. Astronauts on a Russian space station that allegedly don’t understand Russian? Pretty Russian woman who is portrait as stupid instead of using the opportunity to reveal how dumb and patriarchic patriotism is? Also Vladimir and Dmitry as the first Russian names? That’s just ridiculously hilarious. John Smith and Henry Miller say hello 🙄 To no fault of the author, the novel became outdated with SpaceX starting to launch Americans from American soil again making the whole premise that the US is underprepared for a second spontaneous space race null and void. Bezos and Musk would be tripping over themselves to get NASA to an alien base.
