I've got to think about that. The plan was to write a GURPS Vehicle matching Heinlein's description. That will be difficult enough, since Heinlein wasn't kind enough to time-travel and use Vehicles. Additional data points might help me to understand the setting, or they could make the match even more difficult. For instance, right now I haven't found anything that would translate into DR, so I'm free to choose it. Besides, I'm from Germany, that adds shipping time. I might put it under the Christmas tree, but that would delay this project.
