Woah. That was, frankly, amazing. I usually expect just flashy gadgets and Hollywood-esque action from scifi, and that's why I don't usually read it. But this is brilliant. I wonder at how you can make this image so tangible when you haven't even experienced it yourself. And how you display the narrator's quest for knowledge, beauty in nature - it's just lovely. It makes me really happy to see that sort of depth in this genre. And the fact that you're only a year older than I both greatly impresses me and makes me feel dreadfully insufficient -_-
If I was to have one complaint, it would be that I don't like your use of "And yet". The repetition's fine, but the use of periods after it makes it feel a bit too abrupt, and, for me, it kind of breaks the lovely flow you create. Other than that, wonderful job. Kudos to you!
