Summary
TL;DR - Expiration Date in Space
This is a nonsensical AU which is set on a spaceship, because I read The Green Hills of Earth. Then I wept, as I always do when I read The Green Hills of Earth. Go read The Green Hills of Earth. Fucking cry, because you will never touch the majesty that is Heinlein, even if he was a nutty libertarian hippy. This is just the intro.
The Green Hills of Earth
Let the sweet fresh breezes heal me
As they rove around the girth
Of our lovely mother planet
Of the cool, green hills of Earth.We’ve tried each spinning space mote
And reckoned its true worth:
Take us back again to the homes of men
On the cool, green hills of Earth.The arching sky is calling
Spacemen back to their trade.
ALL HANDS! STAND BY! FREE FALLING!
And the lights below us fade.Out ride the sons of Terra,
Far drives the thundering jet,
Up leaps a race of Earthmen,
Out, far, and onward yet —-We pray for one last landing
On the globe that gave us birth;
Let us rest our eyes on the fleecy skies
And the cool, green hills of Earth.~Robert A. Heinlein
