Besides being obviously outdated, which can't be helped, it feels weak even accounting for that.
It could be nice for an easily impressed kid that loves space exploration, but then the manga format and the length doesn't help much on it being lively for anyone younger than your grandpa.

Manga is well-illustrated and printed in excellent paper (newpop prime PT-BR), and can be a window to the past regarding art style and what people of that time expected for the future. So it could actually be used in art studies/references in some very specific cases.
"Battles" feels off and dead, it doesn't capture the movements too well.
Character ... proportions are off-putting and not constant, to say the least. Sometimes they're ok, in other's a captain has a head-to-body proportion of a young child. I'm not sure if in a particular scene it was on purpose or not, but I imagine it makes more sense just being a mistake.
Plot is weak, which is understandable since the original was a tv show and it focused on action and speech, which weren't properly made impactful in the manga.
Translation was ok, but feels like source material was weak.
Immersion is broken by mixing different units, authors not knowing that in a tridimensional space you need two angles and one distance, extremely generic names for places and technologies (which is a residual from an tv show, understandable).

So not recommended, unless it's a gift for someone that already watched on TV and you want to gift it out of their nostalgia...

Review based on newpop prime's version in Brazilian-portuguese.
