So he knows what not to do then ;)

Also did anyone catch the name of the nephew that was spaced by his uncle? Book 5 spoilers There is no chance he could turn out to be Filip?
Diogo, I've heard (I missed the name too). He's in the assault on Thoth Station, if it's the same character.

That's not really how space works. You almost never want to travel in a straight line in a gravity well, even when there's nothing in the way. Doing so means you're fighting against gravity the whole way.
That's the most energy efficient way, but the Epstein drive makes it so energy efficiency isn't an issue anymore and a spaceship can focus on getting there quickly instead. Delta-v is basically a free resource in the Expanse.

Racism/otherism against the Belter physical differences is a pretty blatant theme, and it's not like there aren't any real-history examples of exactly this kind of thing.

Yeah, the recurring theme of The Expanse is that no matter how much time passes, where in the universe they live, or what wonders are available to them, people will still continue to be horrible assholes to each other.

Vague book spoilers: It's one of the reasons I like books 3 and 4 better than the consensus seems to be. Even among the most amazing things ever seen by humans, people are just going to revert to human nature. And human nature is a dick.

 Food is produced on Ganymede in the books, not sure if it's been said yet in the show. (Not a huge spoiler or anything, just don't want to be dropping book stuff for people who want to go with the show's pace.)
