Whether it’s the most interesting, the most beautiful, or the strangest one for you, which is, in your opinion, the best moon in the Solar System?

Could it be the Earth’s own moon, being so large in comparison to the size of our Planet? Perhaps little Phobos and Deimos of Mars? The Galilean moons of Jupiter? Titan, Saturn’s largest moon and the only one in the Solar System with a thick atmosphere? Farther out, you have the moons of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto…

    All of the classics have to be read with the time period and science knowledge of the when they were written. I love Heinlein, even though he doesn’t do female characters well. When I read him as a kid, I didn’t pick up on that, plus I’m more of a realist reader for the hard science and don’t always see the deeper stuff.

      I cringed so hard reading “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” that I nearly DNF’d it.

      But, for the time it was written, it was probably one of the more progressive things published.
