5.0
First published in 1947, while the technology depicted here is outdated or simply wrong, the psychology is perfect. After three years on the moon, Allen and Jo are happy to get back to Earth, where they can see blue skies and walk on grass and feel the rain on their faces. But three years can change people and a place, and that’s really the point of this story, although Heinlein was good about trying to capture the details of what a moon colony might resemble. It could have been titled “You Can’t Go Home Again,” but Thomas Wolfe had already grabbed that one in 1940. Recommended.
