I can half-see Guardian Enzo's point.

One thing the show could do better is establish the significance of some of the activities. EG: it seems like a big deal that the space yacht club is actually getting to go on a cruise, but that's only implied, not stated. Is this voyage an annual, "each year after school gets out" activity? Or is getting to take the yacht a more-special opportunity? The show's been a bit weak on that type of world-building.

On the other hand, this seems to be a star trek type show, wherein the show's mostly about people-management and problem solving (except the techno-babble here is interesting and logical, so far, whereas it was just made-up plot hacks in every star trek ever). That style of show's not for everyone, but it's hard to combine that style with exceptionally deep and complex characters: the characters have to be relatively static for the "management" part of the show to work, so there's a tension there.
