Hear, hear! What an inspiration toward colonization that would
provide for today's youth (let alone US :D).

Surely there's a right-minded producer SOMEWHERE who'd tackle
Heinlein's _The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress_...? Set on a planetary body
instead of in a habitat, to be sure, but oh the sociopolitical FIRST
PRINCIPLES we could inculcate thereby -- just as Heinlein did ;) --
cleverly disguised as a rippin' good space opera!

I was SO annoyed when virtualy all the sociopolitics in the book were
stripped out of the recent film version of his _Starship Troopers_ :(
