As a boy my mom picked up the Tom Corbett, Space Cadet books by Carey Rockwell for me at garage sales. They were about a boy learning to become a space ranger. The first in the series was Stand by for Mars! (1952) I loved the adventure and suspense, they were much more interesting than hardy boys at the time . As I got older, I realized they were loosely based on Robert Heinlein’s Space Cadet, a 1948 science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein about Matt Dodson, who joins the Interplanetary Patrol to help preserve peace in the Solar System. The story translates the standard military academy story into outer space: a boy from Iowa goes to officer school, sees action and adventure, shoulders responsibilities far beyond his experience

As a boy who watched the first human to walk on the surface of the moon, I somehow thought I might have a chance for adventure in space, unfortunately, the opportunity has not risen, however, I still have the great memories and, these books.

Hello and congrats on the writing!! Here are some rec requests! Do you have any:

-songs for wishing the other two people in your OT3 would just sort out their feelings already

-reading (books or fic) featuring characters whose defining relationship is “know each other extremely well”

Semi-impatient OT3:

Ready or Not Air Traffic Controller is moooore the other two apologizing for going slow, but isn't a bad option either

Not to Coldplay rec in 2023, but Yes isn't a bad match, in at least some of the lyrics

Actually, while I'm on songs with "yes" in the title, Snow Patrol's Just Say Yes isn't the worst option here either

Characters who know each other very well:

Leaves in the Void by myrmidryad is a Les Mis E/R space AU, but also features really deep and important friendships, to start us off

I feel like I could put a plug in for my beloved Tom Corbett, Space Cadet novels by Carey Rockwell here, the friendship between the three main guys is always a big feature (and they're on project Gutenberg!)

The Magician's Daughter by H.G. Parry has the sort of adoptive-parent version of this going on, I think

Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots has a decent amount of it

You've already read Goddard's Hands of the Emperor or I would be recommending that! I really need to read some of the novellas and then the recent sequel, so if you haven't done those, consider this a reminder to both of us

Gloria (Marion Brasch) and Betty (Beryl Bernay) are two unlucky space pilots who "crashed on Jupiter," apparently on New Year's Day 2354 as depicted in "The Planet of Doom" on "Tom Corbett, Space Cadet".
