[Atmob-discuss] Robert Bussard RIP

[Peter Bealo]

Larry,

Interesting coincidence. I enjoy pretty much all Heinlein (except those
works post-stroke perhaps). Starship Trooper, Moon is a Harsh Mistress,
Green Hills... and Man Who Sold the Moon are my favorites. I'd love to own
signed 1st printings!

Peter

Curiously I was just reading the story involving that at the end of the
neutron star collection last night.

***

and just for the record, July 12, 2007 was the day that the Puppet 
Masters landed.
The Puppet Masters is a Heinlien SF.
