I did read the two as a single book (using the version from here prepared by HarryT), but I still found the divide between the two parts quite stark. While I enjoyed the first, with the humour helping to break up more geeky parts, I found this second part quite hard work. As you suggest, it interesting from the historical Sci-Fi perspective, but (for me) that was about all.
