Does the book teach you how to be a good storyteller? BTW, thanks for this one [1]. I'll be reading it, and similar material, really soon (had it bookmarked here.) Regarding my comment, I should have explained myself better in any case

Could anyone explain what the goal of this project is? Which audience it is aimed at? Where would I want to use it? Embedded systems? (Despite the small number of packages, the size of some make me think not) Reproducible builds? Unikernels

It will be interesting indeed but also worrisome. China also has plans for Mars and it has no collaborative efforts with the ISS. How much land will it claim? And how many colonies will demand secession? edited: typo :)
