> A curious feature of the station is its powerful gravitational field, far stronger than would be suggested by its small mass. However, this probably represents a faulty reading by our instruments. I know it's just fiction, but this is just outright contradictory. The gravitational field is determined by the mass, and even with faulty instruments, they can feel the strong gravity for themselves. "Small size" would likely have been better. Aside from that nitpick, absolutely loved the story. Slowly realizing that the station is expanding around them and then reading the conclusion was riveting.
