• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

WOW...prolific writer!!!
That is not all. He wrote a lot of short stories for the early 1900s science fiction magazines.
He also wrote "How To" books and articles about writing.
Several of the books have been made into movies also.

Robert A. Heinlein's books adapted into movies include Destination Moon (based on Rocket Ship Galileo), Predestination (based on "All You Zombies"), The Puppet Masters (1994 film), and Red Planet (1994 TV mini-series). While Starship Troopers is a well-known novel adapted into multiple film and TV projects, several others exist as well.
