the new Harriman

Hi All

In that vein we could see him as a modernised analogue of Robert Heinlein's Delos D. Harriman who launched the first moon rocket and built Luna City, launching humanity to the planets.

Problem is that neither Mars or Venus are the planets Noisy Rhysling sang about. Will the bare reality be enough for humanity?
