Brief Description Of Contents:

• Synopsis-Rocket Ship Galileo was originally published as the first of a dozen Scribner's science fiction juvenile or young-adult novels by Heinlein. Rocket Ship Galileo is the first book-length expression of Robert A. Heinlein's love affair with the Moon.This clean, clear, natural realism — or conveyed sense of realism — is one of Heinlein's great strengths in science fiction. Rocket Ship Galileo is a fun adventure, simply plotted but very nicely detailed. Three boys just out of high school are active experimenters in back-yard rocketry; substantial back-yard rocketry, with a test-stand and instrumentation. Their experiments and projects are on a minimal budget, but undertaken seriously. This is the Galileo Club.Heinlein's empathy with his adventurous, experimenting, can-do characters puts the right kind of people in the inhospitable void and satellite.RE: Review by Robert Wilfred Franson
