Rocket Girls vs Stratos 4
The question was posed whether this was a copy of Stratos 4 or whether Stratos 4 was a copy of this. Putting aside the difference in plot; Stratos 4 came out in 2003 thereabouts. Rocket Girls came out in 2007. Draw your own conclusions.

Well, I finished the series up last night and I really enjoyed it. From the breif descriptions I read of the series before hand, and especially from the pictures of the "rocket girls" in their skin-tight space suits I had thought this was going to be a fan-service comedy, but it was actually an enjoyable adventure series with some interesting characters and a fairly realistic real life space exploration background.
Well worth watching, in my opinion. |

I'm guessing you're the author of the "adventure tale for the young lasses" as the commentator put it. I see Amazon is down to two copies of your book with a promise to get more, and both the Amazon reviewers are quite positive. Kudos!
