The Rolling Stone. Flat cats.
Yes, Heinlein is very, very good.
On the topic of Mars, however, I seem to recall that my favorite Mars story was Asimov's "The Martian Way."I haven't read it in about a decade, but I remember it being very cool, with people humming around in nuclear ships that use water as reaction mass, everything very casual. I don't remember the exact plot, but I remember it being about, in a Heinlein kind of way, the colonists becoming self-sufficent for water...
(Darn, I was going to watch "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns" tonight -- Now I guess I'll have to dig out a copy of TMW and buckle down for some reading instead of four hours of Rachel Weisz watching...)
