It's a basically about garbage collectors in space. To be more specific, it's the debris collection branch of the corporation that runs an orbital space station. They're generally regarded as good-for-nothings since they don't actually generate any revenue for the company. More than that though, it's about everyday life and realistic situations that would happen to people who live in space [or in the moon, in some cases]. It does try to be flashy like other scifi anines, rather it takes a very realistic approach and doesn't skimp on the physics. If you like outerspace or the science of space travel, you'd be hard pressed to find a better anime series than this.
Well let me ask you this. How much work do they need to do to make sure they are travelling at the same speed as whatever debris they are after?
