Planetes, Volume 1 by Makoto Yukimura
3.0
Planetes is about a guy and his coworkers who fly around the Earth collecting space junk. Because there's a lot of it. And it's a hazard.
And one of his coworkers is all moody and broody because he lost his wife several years earlier. And.. out of nowhere, he finds her pocketwatch floating out in space.
And meanwhile eco-terrorists are blowing up the cigarette vending machines and smoking rooms about the space stations. Yea, seriously. Astronauts smoke. What the frell?
All in all, interesting enough. Nothing wow-y.
And they can invoke Tsiolkovsky and give us a short bio of him all they want, but to me, that name is still Wesley Crusher's finest moment!
