Have you googled up the name of the real tech advisor of Pal's movies,
Doug? It's probably right on IMD, though you're probably afraid to
check if I was right.

I didn't need to check, of course you're wrong. But just for
a reference:

4.10 - What films have been made from Heinlein's works?

The number of films and television works made from
Heinlein's stories is slowly growing. However, the quality
seems to be devolving. The complete list is as follows:

* "Destination Moon" (1950)
This George Pal-produced classic, directed by Irving
Pichel, was one of the very first realistic space movies,
which is fitting, since Heinlein was the technical advisor
and the great Chesley Bonestell was the scenic artist.
Semi-documentary in style, it has a hokey moment or two but
overall still stands as a landmark of science fiction
filmmaking.

So, when are you selling that autographed edition, Bubbles?
