"Universe"
Hugh Hoyand's universe is a multi-generation spaceship. Most of
the population has long since forgotten about anything
outside the ship, but Hugh is captured by the mutie Joe-Jim, who
remembers the way to the larger universe.
OPUS NUMBERS:
| | [G.025a] | Astounding version.
| | [G.025b] | Slight revision for Orphans of the Sky.
|
NOTES:
|
| º
|
The second part of the story was later written and
published ("Common Sense"), and the
two parts together form Orphans of the
Sky.
|
| º
|
The future history chart shows the ship launched shortly after
2100, and the Vanguard's log shows that the
original mutiny was in 2172. In The Past Through
Tomorrow,
the chart makes it look as if Universe and Common Sense
were also in the 2100s,
but the complete chart (for example, in
The Man Who Sold the Moon) shows
the time of these stories clearly around 2600.
|
| º
|
The story has the first mention of Rhysling, "the blind singer of
the spaceways" from the distant past (early 21st century).
Heinlein later writes of Rhysling in The Green Hills
of Earth".

"Common Sense"
Common sense says that The Ship is the entire universe, complete and
immovable for all time and space. Hugh Hoyland and Joe-Jim show
otherwise, but The Crew won't listen, leaving only one improbable
route to the truth.

NOTES:
|
| º
|
In Grumbles from the Grave,
Virginia Heinlein lists the title as a single word, "Commonsense,"
but I'm unsure whether that version of the title was ever used.
The two-word title is more likely as a nod to Thomas Paine.

Future:
Lyle Monroe is a newish stf writer, whom we've had the good fortune to
meet. Or perhaps we should say: the Lyle Monroes. Seeing Lyle without
his lady is virtually unthinkable, and the Monroes maintain that they
are perfect schizophreniacs, the one being entirely capable of
thinking, acting, and speaking for the other without any disharmony
then or thereafter resulting. To get down to the point, Monroe's
appeared a number of times in our contemporaries, and we felt 'twas
time we had one of his tales. So, here's hoping you like "My Object All
Sublime." And Damon Knight has done an adequate drawing for the tale,
we think.

- "Waldo"
-
Gramps Schneider seems to be Heinlein's first Jedi master.
"There--that betters you? Now you rest while I some coffee make," he
says to Waldo Forthingwaite-Jones. Waldo may be a genius who lives a
hermit's life in orbit, but it will take Schneider's philosophy to

This is an Australian
pocketbook/magazine from Malian Press (Sydney).
There were several dozen 32-page issues
in the first half of the 1950s , but they were undated and
unnumbered. This Heinlein might have been 1952 according to
The Fine Books
Company. Tim Gadd told me some details about his copy:
The format is 32 pp of dense, double-columned print. No advertisements; no publisher details; literally nothing but the story itself.

NOTES:
|
| º
| The
novella in Short Stories Magazine
was written at the request of an editor to match the movie.
|
| º
| Heinlein's thoughts on the making of the movie are
in a short article "The Shooting of Destination Moon", which
appeared in
Astounding Science Fiction
(July 1950)
.
Reprinted in the British Astounding Science Fiction
(December 1950)
and in Requiem and Tributes to the Grand Master.
There is also an interview with Heinlein about Destination Moon
in
Starlog (June 1977)
.
|
| º
| The May 1950 issue of Popular Mechanics
includes a cover article about the filming of the movie and
the prospects for a real life journey to the moon.
|
| º
| The premiere issue of DC Comics Strange Adventures
(August-September 1950)
includes "A thrilling preview of Hollywood's
smash interplanetary epic--Destination Moon."
|
| º
| Around the time of shooting the movie, Heinlein also wrote a
three-page treatment, Abbott and Costello Move to the Moon,
a parody of the making of Destination Moon in which the
comedy duo actually end up on the moon.
|
| º
| The
Locus Index
indicates that the
story "Destination Moon" in Space Movies
(ed. Peter Haining, Severn House (1995)) is an excerpt from
Rocket Ship Galileo, different from the "Destination Moon" novella.

- The Sturgeon Stories
-
And you thought Heinlein didn't write any short stories in the
mid-fifties. Maybe he didn't, but on Feb 11, 1955, he sent a letter with story
ideas to his friend, Ted Sturgeon. (In his
collection The Golden Helix, Sturgeon says it was November.
The letter is reprinted in the August 1995 NY Review of Science Fiction.)
For those of you who have exhausted all other Heinlein stories, give these Sturgeon
stories a try. I'll assign Gifford-like unofficial numbers as I
discover the stories, and you can find short synopses at my Sturgeon page.

Because of their telepathic link, Tom and Pat Bartlett are selected to
have one of them go on a torchship to the stars while the other stays

one to travel to the stars (he always gets his own way), but perhaps
things will be different for Tom this time.

OPUS NUMBER: [G.128.1b]
|
| º
| I have not yet found an Opus number assigned by James Gifford to this
work.
One possibility is to not consider it a Heinlein work (thus no
number). Another possibility is to assign the number [G.128.1a] to
Heinlein's 1955 outline (probably written before Time for the
Stars because of all the elements in Time for the Stars
that seem to be taken from the Variable Star outline). In
this case, I would assign [G.128.1b] to the completed novel.

Gifford's Heinlein biography
(in Volume 1 of The Heinlein Journal) describes it as
"one (hopelessly amateurish and never published)
short story early in his commissioned Navy career."
But Heinlein amateurish? Unpublishable? Heretic!
