You know, it’s so rarely that I get an opportunity to make a Lazarus Long joke, and now I see that it’s just as well…

Adding insult to injury the linked article appears to be gone. And here I was thinking about the first Heinlein I read, Red Planet, and wondering what it had to say about that.

Right there with you. Red Planet, Rocket Ship Galileo and Space Cadet were my first three. My dad dropped that stack on me and changed my life. (Now I have to google them to make sure I’m not misremembering.)

I envy you. I read Red Planet in spite of the copy we had at home being taken away from me repeatedly. And then when I checked it out from the school library I got in trouble for going to the library without permission.
Since it’s the story of a couple of school kids who help start a revolution against a stupid and greedy tyrant that seems fitting.
