	Rocket Ship Galileo - Robert A. Heinlein
		Rocket Ship Galileo is the first book-length expression of Robert A. Heinlein's love affair with the Moon.
		Rocket Ship Galileo was originally published as the first of a dozen Scribner's science fiction juvenile or young-adult novels by Heinlein.
		Galileo Galilei drew some of the earliest telescopic views of the Moon, but Galileo's life story is itself important in the history of scientific inquiry.

		The fictional rocket uses nuclear thermal propulsion, a method that has not been employed in any real launches to date.
		Although there were no scenes of the rocket being constructed, a Douglas aircraft plant in Southern California was shown with workers examining a model of the nuclear spacecraft.
		The relationship between the film and the novel Rocket Ship Galileo exists, but is very weak.

		Heinlein's first published novel, Rocket Ship Galileo, was initially rejected because going to the moon was considered too far out, but he soon found a publisher, Scribner's, that began publishing a Heinlein juvenile once a year for the Christmas season.
		His early juvenile novels often contain a surprisingly strong antiauthoritarian message, as in his first published novel Rocket Ship Galileo, which has a group of boys blasting off in a rocket ship in defiance of a court order.
		In The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, the unjust Lunar Authority that controls the lunar colony is usually referred to simply as "Authority," which leads to an obvious interpretation of the book as a parable for the evils of authority in general, rather than the evils of one particular authority.

		The tale of a scientist enlisting the aid of 3 boys of a rocket club to build a nuclear powered moon-rocket was scientifically accurate for the time, and inspired future NASA engineers, though the first moon-flight turned out differently.

		Famed as the basis for the Heinlein-scripted motion picture Destination Moon (1950), Rocket Ship Galileo may be the weakest of his 14 YA books.
		Part of the problem is merely the passage of time: Rocket Ship Galileo is the oldest of Heinlein's juveniles, and its events are extrapolated directly from the scientific developments and Nazi crimes of World War II.

		By considering orbiting bombs or an orbiting ship capable of launching bombs from orbit, a different type of defense problem was presented than was the case of the ICBMs with which we all became familiar, fortunately not in a direct manner, during the era of the Cold War.
		Heinlein and Laning's rocket bombs were already in orbit, either on their own or as the payload of an attacking ship.

		The protagonists were going to heat liquid zinc in an atomic reactor and use it for a working fluid as it has a greater density impulse than hydrogen, lower boiling point than lead, and cheaper than mercury.

		The trip is successful in that the ship does reach the Moon, but everything that can possibly go awry does go wrong and it is by no means certain at the end that the ship will successfully return to Earth.
		Heinlein seems to have a particular fondness for Ganymede: one of the young fellows in Space Cadet was a Ganymedean colonist, the hero of Between Planets was born in a ship that was on its way to Ganymede; Farmer in the Sky is about the settling of Ganymede.

		Rocket ships are used routinely to carry passengers and freight to the ends of the Earth.
		In addition, the legal issues of allowing a nuclear powered rocket to take off, spewing material out the exhaust that had been exposed to hard radiation, would be formidable; induced radioactivity may have a short half-life, but still detectable, and some people have hysterics if the sun is shining too bright.
		His descriptions of the mechanics of the moon rocket and its voyage are both convincing and interesting, despite being badly dated.
