The title of this book reminds us, of course, of the space station of the same name that orbited the Earth for fifteen years, from 1986 to 2001. And the story told is indeed that of an astronaut sent on a mission in space. However, there is no mention of the scientific dimensions of the journey, nothing to glorify the advanced technologies concentrated in this orbiting research laboratory. Rather, it is the astronaut's humanity that is highlighted through his thoughts and emotions, especially when he notices that a plant has started to grow inside the station itself: no doubt a seed slipped in with him before departure, and now it has blossomed!
