Heinlein evokes the past as a guide to humanity's future, like a pilgrim
first coming to shore or a pioneer arriving on new land. If we are to
survive, in Heinlein's future, we must /expand or die./ Suffocate in
cradle earth or move on.

ship...design a building...write a sonnet...balance accounts...build a
wall...pitch manure...program a computer, and cook a tasty meal!"
Specialization is for insects!
