About this listen

Humankind has always dreamed of reaching into the stars. What if, when we finally did, we found that it wasn't the first time we'd been there?

Galactic Planetary Resources was all about earnings-per-share. That's what shareholders demand, after all. But this is no longer about profit, even if the board believes we still need to focus on the ROI for the Audacious mission.

The artifact we found on Vesta changed everything. Sure, we were able to patent the new technologies we managed to reverse engineer, and make a hefty sum. But we could never have anticipated where these discoveries would eventually lead. The board of directors still wants to see what we come back with, but those of us on the ship know that there's something far more significant than Hegemony credits out here. And we have to do it right by humanity.

Now, if we could just get the government to see it that way, and get them and their psychotic AI off our back.

personally I like the intersection of hard sci fi, corporations and politics... makes for great story telling and I think this is pretty good - hence the 4- it's missing something, but it's sorta predictable and you can see the influences of other sci fi within

having the AI voice the is good, but it's way too lt cdr data for me

she voices women well- obviously

men all sound like munchkins from the wizard of Oz

meh... good but not great
