Honestly I wasn't too into this manga. This is the first time I've read something like this. It wasn't that it was boring or anything, because a lot of it was interesting, but I think I was more confused than anything. I felt like there were a lot of characters and a lot of times someone would die and I'd have to go back to figure out who they were or someone new was introduced who ended up not being new. I think the only thing that actually pulled me in was the Robinson's and the children who were sent to that planet. I don't know if it just went over my head, but why were they so old? It said in the end that they were over 400 years old. Also, why did that Toby guy kill his ancestor whose name escapes me?
As for space exploration, I don't think I'd go anytime soon. I think when exploration is more commercialized it may be a possibility but I might be extremely old or dead by then. I have always fantasized of a Cowboy Bebop or Gundam type universe but I don't see it happening in my lifetime.
I think it would have been pretty boring without the robinsons. 20 chapters of oneshots would have been pretty boring.
Everyone being able to be older comes down to "space magic" to put it non-scientifically. Of course, now we know they wouldn't be that old because traveling in space so much would get you serious cancer. Reality ruins everything I suppose. lol.
Toby killed Adam because toby didn't trust him. 'specially after the girls who tried to get it on with him and the people trying to kidnap them for breeding. Toby didn't want Adam on the planet at all, so stabby stab.
I'm pretty used to manga like this, but I remember my first and wondering who the hell that guy was that just got killed or whatever. (that one was over a hundred chapters so I couldn't even look back! XD)
