Overall political premise and a perspective of feminist objectives as a motivator for space exploration is good. But I felt there were too many gaps and lapses of judgment and characters kept thinking things through in a last possible moment when according to the timelines they had years to think about them. There is a good amount of backstory building that could have created very deep and engaging characters, but I didn't find them particularly consistent and coherent with the backstories.
