Time for the Stars
Time for the Stars | Robert A. Heinlein
2 posts | 9 read | 1 to read
Travel to other planets is a reality, and with overpopulation stretching the resources of Earth, the necessity to find habitable worlds is growing ever more urgent. With no time to wait years for communication between slower-than-light spaceships and home, the Long Range Foundation explores an unlikely solution--human telepathy. Identical twins Tom and Pat are enlisted to be the human radios that will keep the ships in contact with Earth, but one of them has to stay behind while the other explores the depths of space.This is one of Heinlein's triumphs.

This was full cast audio. I 💘 that. I probably read this as a kid but I didn't really remember it. This was written in the 1940s so well before actual space travel. I definitely recommend this and anything else by the author. 🚀🌠 👽

I've read this before in dead tree, but went with audio this time. Narrator was good, but not really exciting.

In Heinlein fashion, the underlying physics makes a lot of sense, but this isn't a story about physics; it is about the people. And you really start caring for the people. Especially when tragedy strikes.

The ending comes off as Deus ex machina- something to quickly wrap up the plot in a nice, neat package. Feels chopped off.
