A review by bookwyrmknits
Time for the Stars by Robert A. Heinlein

4.0

It's interesting to see the directions that this particular vision of the future went. I'm also amused by the cultural / gender issues have aged. For instance, Tom (the narrator) was shocked that women no longer wore hats after he'd been out in space. Well, women (and men) haven't worn hats on a regular basis in ages, so I was taken aback in the other direction. There are also other gender-based restrictions that are no longer the norm (excluding women from the landing party in today's society wouldn't fly) and that was interesting to read, too. Still, all told, this is an enjoyable book.
