The Green Hills of Earth (Future History, Bk 2)
The Green Hills of Earth - Future History, Bk 2 Author:Robert A. Heinlein We pray for one last landing On the globe that gave us birth, Let us rest our eyes on fleecy skies, And the cool green hills of Earth! The arching sky is calling Spacemen back to their trade. All hands! Stand by! Free falling! And the lights below us fade. Out ride the sons of Terra, Far drives the thundering jet, Up leaps the race of Earthmen, ... more »Out, far, and onward yet - We've tried each spinning space mote And reckoned its true worth: Take us back again to the homes of men On the cool, green hills of Earth.

I enjoyed these short stories about the Earth and the Moon. Two of my favorites were "'It's Great to Be Back'" about a couple who learns where their home is, and "--We Also Walk Dogs" about a new kind of concierge company.
