Shari Goldstein

Dr Shari Goldstein is the Moon Base Alpha Botanist. She cares deeply about her plants, spending most of her time in The Greenhouse, and is enemies with Nina Stack, the Moon Base Commander who doesn't understand the difficulties of growing plants on the moon. She is married to Mfuzi Iwanyi and gave birth to Kamoze Iwanyi six or seven years before she came to Moon Base Alpha.

Space Case
Dr. Goldstein was not mentioned in Space Case, but was in fact there.

Spaced Out
Dr. Goldstein became more prominent in Spaced Out. She is first seen sobbing over a deformed squash that she catered to, although this is later proved to not be the reason of her weeping-she was devastated that her actions caused Nina Stack to go missing.

When everyone was sent to scour the lunar surface for Nina, Dr. Goldstein was part of the squad that stayed near the base. When she was ordered to return, Dr. Goldstein discovered the results of The Sjoberg's Greenhouse Raid and was even more distraught, although part of this is probably because the chance of finding Nina is even slimmer.

Soon, Dashiell Gibson confronts Dr. Goldstein about her scheme to make Nina look bad. When Dr. Goldstein realizes Nina's motive, she is astonished and seems heartbroken how malevolent her plan was. When Dr. Goldstein tells her husband, Mfuzi Iwanyi, Dr. Iwanyi pressures her not to admit her wrongdoing, but Dr. Golstein is adamant and probably has told NASA already.

Waste of Space
At breakfast, Dr. Iwanyi reminded Dr. Goldstein to head to The Science Pod for the NASA conference call.

After the call, Dr. Goldstein checked the security cameras to The Greenhouse. When she realized Dashiell Gibson had been poking around, she confronted him and brought him to the greenhouse. She explained that she realized what Dash had been doing and gave him a list of suspects to help. Dash accepted the list, but then departed when he realized his sibling was in danger.

After Lily's Attack on the Gibsons, Cesar Marquez commented that he thought Dr. Goldstein was "Weird" and hinted that she could've been the killer.

Dr. Goldstein and her family were on the first wave of rockets to leave for Earth and went into the same one as Stephen, Rose, Dashiell, and Violet Gibson.

Personality
Dr. Goldstein is a very kind and good-natured woman, but when provoked, can be crafty and conniving, as shown when she tried to frame Nina Stack when Nina showed no sympathy to Dr. Goldstein's botany hardships.
