Another solid edition. This review pretty much says everything I want to say about it. Especially the part about one of the non-fiction articles making me want to lighten my wallet...
I do have a slightly different opinion on "Gravity", however. I loved the movie Sunshine and while I do agree that it went a little crazy to try and thrill cinematic audiences, I feel it painted a more poignant overall picture than did "Gravity". And since I saw it first... the short story felt like covering old ground again without adding anything new. In fact, despite myself, I kept thinking of it as the story of the first ship that went out before the Sunshine crew... for what it's worth. It was a nice short story and well-told, but made a bit flat because of this.
