Many thanks for continuing this!
Thanks for picking this up, Ignominia Scanlation!
The sleeve was abandoned, but it had a total of four volumes, of which only the first was translated, I have the others that are missing, but I can only translate it slowly.
i think its abandoned, their website last post is on september 2016
My English is bad, but if they gave me help I could do the English translation as well as the Spanish one.
English translation for chapter 13 please x.x
Cap13 Disponible en español.
This story is all an adaptation of the original books, so it's very much the same.
This is really quite nostalgic. It is a story straight out of science fiction novels I read as a child and teenager. Full of technical details and rather straightforward characters. I am greatly enjoying it. Pure gold!
And
How come no one's mentioning time travel for how the man got on the moon?
So happy to see this getting updated again~
Just found this manga, and it's time to read original book. I wonder why I never heard about this author...
p/s It's nice to see classic sci-fi to be adapted into manga, though it happens very rarely.
Can somebody point if there are similar cases? I saw adaptation of Asimov's Foundation, but nobody is translating it.
Space Penis on Ganymede is funny part.
And next, I waited four years to see what's inside that damn spaceship. Every single theory and guesses I had ended up being wrong. I'm not even mad, but happy. This manga just keeps on surprising me. lol
Its just like seeing Pluto for the first time last year XD
As I recall, though, the original books could hardly be described that way. The manga had been keeping pretty close; pity it had to add in some odd stuff that doesn't make the whole thing any more dramatic or compelling. It's like "OK, our source material has a bunch of talking heads talking science (in ways that hang together surprisingly well). We'll fix it--not by adding some action or anything, but by giving the talking heads some BS to say instead!"
Well, this is Popcorn Sci-Fi. If you compare it to hard sci-fi, I would call it talc sci-fi. Most of the premises are either extremely naive (like the reasoning for the end of wars) or just plainly stupid (like saying 30-45 years in the future biology will be thought of as outdated by other scientific fields).
Just sit back, relax and turn off your brain while reading it, the plot is interesting even if the sci part of sci-fi is weak.
It's not a trail from the crash, it's a huge dick drawn by aliens!
Space Jockeys!
