Then it occurred to me that there was likely a valid point to it. When men and women can serve in a combat unit and no one seems to notice much that the other sex is naked, that will be when men and women can be assigned to frontline combat units without serious problems. Which is to say, as most of us know, never.Survivormann99https://www.blogger.com/profile/07446145435315604776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-78167531088774989972021-09-29T11:46:34.132-07:002021-09-29T11:46:34.132-07:00Now I too have see Attack Ships on fire off the sh...Now I too have see Attack Ships on fire off the shoulder of OrionSkipnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-11902568359908562562021-09-29T10:00:47.339-07:002021-09-29T10:00:47.339-07:00" The Day The Earth Stood Still " in the..." The Day The Earth Stood Still " in the short story, by Harry Bates...BALROG AWARD WINNER'S SCIENCE FANTASY CLASSIC!<br />Were the alien and his robot here to help or hinder humankind? Find out the surprising answer in the original story that inspired the classic 1951 science fiction movie The Day the Earth Stood Still. Here is a must-read for any science fiction lover, for, as the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction says, "the film lost the story's ironic ending." Discover for yourself what Hollywood left out in this first-ever collection of the best work of the legendary 1930s idea man, Harry Bates (1900-1981). Rounding out this collection of sophisticated plays-on-ideas that stood traditional science fiction on its head are "A Matter of Size" and "Alas, All Thinking" (1935). These three short novels, which the Encyclopedia calls his most "notable stories," have never before been gathered in one book. Bates' "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1940 under the title, "Farewell to the Master"), with its poignant, haunting last line, would posthumously bring him the coveted Balrog Award (1983). When you have read it, you will understand why long-time science fiction fans rank it and its creator, Harry Bates, among the greats.<br /><br />..the autamaton robot was the Master.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-36655301019808536862021-09-29T09:30:56.883-07:002021-09-29T09:30:56.883-07:00Didn't care for the book.
