> The part that I could never get over is that the discrimination against the main character actually made sense. He's trying to hide his heart condition to go in an important space mission.
That's the part I also couldn't ever get over. He's shown to have a serious heart condition, and then cheats his way onto a space mission?
Yes sure, discrimination bad and all that but— that's a human judgement. In actual fact, he's dramatically increasing the risk of failure of said mission, along with the risks to everyone else involved with it.
My own take-away was that, grit or not, he's incredibly selfish.
