The Kickstarter of Space Exploration (The Incomparable Mothership 501)

Book Club (from The Incomparable Mothership)

Climb aboard your spaceship and prepare your skin to be sparkly, because we’re discussing “To Be Taught, If Fortunate,” a novella from Becky Chambers, a writer we enjoy quite a lot. This is a story about science, adventure, sacrifice, and the difficulty of being away from home for a very, very long time. An interesting crew of characters explores strange, new worlds—while trying to fit in biologically. Sometimes it goes really well, and other times it doesn’t. Also: What are we reading?

Host Jason Snell with Scott McNulty, Aleen Simms, Erika Ensign and David J. Loehr
