February 17, 2006HeinleinBlog On the Move......into fancy new digs, Heinlein Blog has moved here. Coincidentally, yesterday I just ordered online a couple used books of his, The Man Who Sold the Moon and Starship Troopers, two I had somehow missed reading over the years. Comments
sh17 man, I thought he had retired that blog. he's been maintaining it? we are unworthy Posted by: Fûz at February 17, 2006 06:42 PMStarship Troopers is OK, but the Man Who Sold The Moon is classic. Points to the fact that if we ever want space to amount to anything, we will need to get government out of the space business. I think this was first published as a novella as part of a collection of his stuff that also include the first Lazarus Long novella. The Past Through Tommorrow? or something like that. Posted by: Zendo Deb at February 17, 2006 07:36 PMThe Man Who Sold The Moon was indeed in The Past Through Tomorrow, in which it held an integral role. The first time I read that I was floored that Heinlein had written ideas not far from what I was thinking of, but decades earlier. All well and good for me to dream and scheme about how one would go about financing and pushing through obstacles regulatory and technical a private space business circa 1977 - 1983, but to have done so in the thirties and written it as fiction... Thanks for the link! I tried to comment there--on several posts--but I couldn't get the comment feature to work. Is it not working yet, or perhaps is my firewall blocking it?

Note though that MT Blacklist is installed to flag suspiciously spam-like strings. Unfortunately, because of the bastard spammers, the strings "google.com" and "yahoo.com" (even in your email address) are currently banned as well. So are strings such as "cialis" (a common spam) which rules out words such as "socialism". Try putting a hyphan in a word like that. By Golly, you're reading an archived post.
