I read this in 1959. I was eleven years old. It was the first SF novel I ever read. After this I read "1984", "Brave New World" and "The Time Machine". "Starship" though was my introduction to mind boggling new ideas I had never heard of before.

((Goddard thought that "granular protoplasm," might be launched into interstellar space, "this protoplasm being of such a nature as to produce human beings eventually, by evolution.")) So how do we know that this isn't how we got here. It is possible that we are a lost colony of the Pak? I'm sure some of you have read…
When I saw the ED209 in the first Robocop movie I figured out how the that one guy could have stopped the droid from killing him. If only he had run underneath it, I doubt that it would have been able to shoot at its' own feet.

This what Starship Troopers should have been like.
Sorry I meant lake, not like.
I've lived in Colorado all of my life. I never knew we had a like monster.
I sure hope somebody doesn't find this 2000 years from now and think they've found something important.
Why, yes I did know all of these things about evolution. The knowledge I have comes from arguing with religious people who think creation is how things happened.
This is one I won't bother seeing. I like my mythology more recognizable as mythology.
What do you think of the much ballyhooed coming Singularity?
Being old is a gift not everyone gets to do it.
The Bible. Somebody probably already said this. The fact is, it only gives me nightmares because so many take it literally.
It worked. When I saw the trailer in 1976, I wanted to see the movie. I had to wait until the Summer of 1977 to see it and then I had to drive an hour to a larger city to see it because the little town I was living in, did not have a movie theater.
I disagree. He was a humorist. He sometimes used science fiction themes,but his main goal was to poke fun of things. It was laughter to keep from crying and to stay sane in an insane world.
