I don’t blame Kennedy. Back then, we didn’t know any better, there might have been important stuff out in the solar system we needed to secure. Now, we don’t have that excuse anymore. We know it’s just a giant dead zone out there.
Of course, he fixed that with the “Next Generation”, which had far fewer fistfights and alien babes and much more “social justice”. Male crew members in skirts, the wise black lady dispensing advice to the hapless white men, and this time, the alien’s super power was to “empathize”. Liberal heaven!
After the Bay of Pigs he was an expert on dead zones.
I remember it well. I even still have all the books, some re-accumulated from used book sales.
Doc Smith's vision was interesting. Fascist in some respects, but great stories.
