A decent story from the point of view of a young boy on a trip to the moon where his little brother gets lost while on a surface tour. What made this story good at the time was how Heinlein could portray the elements of the science (trips around the moon, the weightlessness, etc.) and combine them with the mundane (kid brothers, mother and father unable to handle their children, etc.). It’s kind of like how Stephen King can ground you in the details of his everyday characters before hitting you with the otherworldly. That said, I’m not sure this story has much more than that going for it now.
