The book has several parts. Loved the part in the ship with the stress and helplessness. The repairs tasks are awesome. Some more abstract parts resonated less with me.
I can finally comprehend how seminal this script was. Just the fact that it was written prior to humans reached the moon. So precise and well written, hasn't aged a day!

তিন তারা... হুম... পসিবলি এক্সট্রাটেরেস্ট্রিয়াল, এক্সট্রাডাইমেনশনাল বিয়িং ও ট্রাভেল নিয়ে অনেক সায়েন্স ফিকশন পড়া হয়ে গেছে বলে বেশি ভালো লাগেনি (হতে পারে সেসব সায়েন্স ফিকশনের অনেকগুলোই আসলে এই বই থেকে অনুপ্রাণিত)। এমনকি কখনো কখনো কাহিনী অনুমানও করতে পেরেছি।
