Several years in the future, an all-female astronaut team circumnavigates the globe once every 90 minutes aboard the International Space Station, prepared to be a powerful presence in space. When a surprise set of "everyday citizens" tags along for the ride, all protocol flies right out the proverbial...airlock.

After a lifetime of being kept down on the ground, what happens when these women finally rise up and see their lives - and their planet - from high above it all?

not funny

Not much of a story here, not funny, and incredibly difficult to figure out who was talking - some of the voices sounded way too similar

Great performance, story ok

I loved the cast and the narration of this short story/play. There were definitely some funny parts, but the story didn’t grab me.

Some laughs here and there, but...

This story needed better editing and direction. I can't tell you what the actual story was because I don't think those in control knew what the story was. Sure, I laughed some, but I kept wondering where it was going. Too bad the title Lost in Space was used already. That's where I felt this story left me. Lost.

I listened to the whole thing—not my proudest moment.

I wanted to like it, I increasingly hated it, now that it’s over I want to hate it but there’s a little something worthwhile here overall. The characters are vacuous yet human, annoying yet endearing.

Story is straightforward (read: not much to see here), 2020s cliches are pretty unbearable most of the time.

Voice actors clearly had a good time and their spirits carried the thing

There’s a decent Uranus joke. That’s the highlight.

Not good

After listening to this, I am increasingly convinced most Audible originals are free because they are so bad that even Audible recognizes that it would be unfair to charge someone for them.
