Have your children read this!

A short story with true fifties spirit, with an important moral perspective,! Today's average American has no idea of this important lesson, but other parts of the world DO! Only 34 pages, i made it mandatory for all the kids I've raised, you should too!

Surprisingly

Lacking. Wow. I had previously read the cold equations, and felt that it was a great story, despite a bit of plot errors. I got this collection thinking there was more of the same. Well, in a way, there was, but it was more plot error than greatness. And there's also a but of dated feel to some of them, which seems based on personal meetings, which are strange to those grown up in the Communication Age...

This sci-fi pulp thriller from 1958 is perfect for a rainy Saturday or Sunday afternoon. The Gerns, a ruthless, militaristic race intent on conquering all human civilization, intercept a spaceship bound for Planet Athena. They maroon the passengers on Pandora, a planet ironically named by human explorers because they believed it to be uninhabitable. Pandora’s gravity is 1.5 times Earth’s, requiring maximum effort to perform simple movements like walking and breathing. Pandora orbits around two suns, resulting in decades-long ice ages alternating with equally long summers of intense heat and little or no moisture. The colonists lack natural immunity to the planet’s pathogens, much of the vegetation is poisonous, and the varied animal species are hostile to all life form other than their own.

The population of 1000 colonists shrinks to 69 inhabitants over the years, but the colonists gradually adapt to the harsh environment across generations. We follow their struggles across hundreds of years as the survivors adapt and the colony begins to thrive. And through it all, the driving goal of the survivors is to escape Pandora and face the Gerns in a climactic encounter.

Después de dos siglos. El ruido iba haciéndose cada vez más intenso, acercándose más y más, aumentando de grado y dilatándose en volúmen. Luego, el artefacto que lo producía atravesó las nubes, enorme y negro. Maravillosamente destructiva, la nave de los Gern acababa de descubrirles y se acercaba para terminar con ellos.
Humbolt entró en el pilotaje contento y feliz. Durante doscientos años su pueblo había estado esperando la oportunidad de combatir con el poderoso Imperio Gern.
¡Condenados a muerte! Por una aplastante gravedad, aire enrarecido y unos inviernos de un frío jamás imaginado. Veranos agotadores bajo dos soles.
Esto era Ragnarok, el planeta más horripilante hasta entonces descubierto. Y Ragnarok era donde un millar de inexpertos terrestres, junto con mujeres y niños, habían sido abandonados por un sádico enemigo.
