    A beautiful, smart, and moving piece that highlights the adventure in both exploring the solar system and building a family. Though the play contains profound insights into friendship, faith, science, and climate crisis, it moves seamlessly from scene to scene and makes for a compelling read. If you don't read this play, you're missing out on a fantastic experience!

    A powerful look into friendship and faith as two women follow their mission in the exploration of life. Well done.

    I was lucky enough to catch a reading of this beautiful and poetic play at San Diego Rep, and I was awestruck at its examination of faith and science as it pertains to our relationships. Can't wait to see this sci-fi marvel brought to life on stage! I highly recommend.
