		<description><![CDATA[Heinlein&#8217;s &#8220;The Menace from Earth&#8221; gets a mention in this New York Times blog post about whether the United States should return to the Moon or shoot for a Mars landing.
Personally, I don&#8217;t care &#8230; just PICK ONE and DO IT.

		<description><![CDATA[Dwayne Day reviews &#8220;Project Moonbase&#8221; (a television pilot turned movie co-written by RAH) for The Space Review and comes away with the conclusion that while The Master was ahead of his time in many ways in portraying women in authority, he hadÂ  a little problem with sexism.

With these concepts in mind, it is worth looking at a rather amazing memo that Heinlein wrote in 1945 advocating a rigorous American missile and space program. Heinlein wrote it soon after the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Japan. He argued that the bomb [...]]]></description>

If you can make it into low-Earth orbit &#8211; about 160 kilometres up &#8211; then you are halfway to anywhere in the solar system. Sci-fi writer Robert Heinlein&#8217;s remark has become a mantra in the space [...]]]></description>
