The current design includes rules for a number of difficult topics which I think the RPG is unavoidably going to raise. I was hoping the RPG community would be mature enough to handle these appropriately, but based on the experiences of the writer of the referenced article, I no longer think that is the case and instead any attempts I make to reify the types of topics that naturally arise when a 4 person crew is sent on a 10 year mission without any other human contact will have a negative outcome.
This article has so badly shaken me, I'm now
second guessing the efforts I'm making to put a little more detail in
classic TV tropes such as a multi-ethnic crew.
