“Your point being? As I recall Verne’s moon expedition was shot from a giant cannon - a process which would have turned to paste any multicellular organism. As I remember he also had air and inhabitants on the moon. Are you claiming that Verne’s/Heinlein’s fictional plot devices are at some point in time going to turn into reality?”

The details of how to accomplish the feats mentioned will of course differ from how such feats are actually accomplished, but that’s missing the forest for the trees. Verne was fiction, yet we went to the moon. Your inability to acknowledge the strategical importance of the moon as pointed out by Heinlein’s story is both short sighted and dangerous.

LOL - you really f.....g believe that! Tell me, please, have you ever had even a college level course in physics, or chemistry? You space kadets' inability to distinguish reality from fiction is pathetic and indicative of a complete lack of analytic or quantitative ability.

"Strategic importance" pointed out in Heinlein's FICTION - y'all really amuse me in a sad sorry sort of way
