Thanks, have thought to do that from time to time, but grew disillusioned many years ago with Heinlein when he began writing “libertarian” tomes in the 1960’s. I read I Will Fear No Evil and tried to read Job, but don’t recall reading anything after that, or since.

Looking at his Wikipedia page now, loved all and have most of his early novels, but he lost me starting with his 1960’s books.

The basic concept, though, is still good: A sub-surface complex that is modular in design. Since it was the 1960s, the plans included a nuclear power plant. :-)

For a bit of fun, have a look at the plans:
Vol. 1
Vol. II

Maybe Matt Damon will set them up to grow potatoes?

I Will Fear No Evil and Job were basically fantasy off-the-reservation books...............

I don’t want to cause the Chinese any problems but could we make a deal to trade something for the leftist communist Hollywood, media and democrats to inhabit the village?

Authentic Chinese cuisine but no atmosphere.

But will they deliver?

[Red Badger]

I think the idea is to get away from them, not take them with us!.................

Over 50 posts, and no reference to the old Patrick McGoohan series yet?

[Red Badger]

What Patrick McGoohan series?....................

[Hiryusan]

’ The Prisoner ‘ which took place...in The Village

[Red Badger]

Never heard of it.................

Isn’t American research and technology great, the research and technology Bill Clinton transferred to his Chinese Communist buddies for campaign cash.

[Red Badger]

Must be outdated since the Chinese are talking to the Europeans...............

[odawg]

The experts say Clinton jumped the Chinese forward 25 years. Before Clinton’s transfer, they could not send anything into orbit.

Maybe I misunderstood. Of course, send them all to a far away planet is what I was trying to say!
