#Saturn5 is a kind of rocket 🚀 so I went with the cover of this early Heinlein novel that I‘ve not read for this #RedroseSeptember prompt. Heinlein is sort of hit and miss for me so I may never read this title! 👽

Since I‘m currently reading science fiction (The Traitor Baru Cormorant—really, really good), I thought I‘d go with science fiction for my latest cool old cover. Tonight it‘s the 1978 paperback edition of Space Cadet.
I didn‘t love it as much as Have Space Suit—Will Travel, and it‘s hard to stand out riffing on life at a military academy, but Space Cadet was still more than in enjoyable. It proved prescient and has aged extremely well. Full review here - https://everydayshouldbetuesday.wordpress.com/2019/01/17/vintage-science-fiction...
“We‘ve given the human race a hundred years of peace, and now there is no one left who remembers war. They‘ve come to accept peace and comfort as the normal way of life. But it isn‘t. The human animal has millions of years of danger and starving and death behind him; the past century is just a flicker of an eyelash in his history.”
“Above the stage at the far end were the three closed circles of the Federation—Freedom, Peace, and Law, so intertwined that, if any one were removed, the other two would fall apart.”
Been traveling today, but wanted to keep up on my posts. I loved Heinlein in high school, and this one fits!! #characters2017 #spacecadet
#SpaceCadet was easy. I read this years ago when I went through my Sci-Fi phase.
