Welcome Stampman49.
This is actually one of those '1 or 2 page' games that I was commenting on being trickier for new players than those with some experience of the system it is based on. The rules don't include any helpful suggestions or guidance for how to use them.
That is not a problem. We can teach you what you need to know. While it is not at all required, you may get some benefit from reading the free System Reference Document (SRD) of Dungeon World --the game this spawned from as part of that game's KickStarter --though, that is a fairly different game. I can also point you toward some other games using the underlying mechanics (Powered by the Apocalypse (PbtA)). Apocalypse World (from which we get the Apocalypse that Powers these games) is a good candidate if you can get it.
One of my staples for SciFi is Impulse Drive. That Pay What You Want version contains all the text of the paid version (minus the example scenario) but lacks the layout- and art-work. Impulse Drive can do a wide variety of SciFi styles, from Firefly to Star Wars and more.
I hear you have signed up there. I can heartily recommend bowlofspinach's Tutorial Game as a good way to become familiar with general PbP stuff.
Take a look at the Help! thread for guidance. Feel free to ask any question here or in the General Chat depending on where they seem relevant.
You can find the Game's Rule Book copied here for easy access. You may soon find the Character Creation section useful as well.
