Need a title

[ffutures]

The section on space travel technology etc. in the Weinbaum RPG is going to be called Between Planets, a title I'm nicking from Heinlein.

What I want is something similar for the (large) section that describes the solar system and aliens etc. - currently it's just called The Solar System which is accurate but just a bit bland. Doesn't have to be a Heinlein title, anything will do if it has the right ring to it, though a period SF reference would be nice.

The other section titles I have so far, incidentally, are

Load Up On Guns (Friends Optional) for the weapons section

Love and Rockets for the section on romance.

I could also do with a good overall title for the adventures section.

Anyone got any ideas?

How about 'Islands in the Sky', from the Clarke juvenile.

Ooh, I like that one.

That's a very good idea - many thanks!

"Earthman's Burden" - for the adventures. And "Lonely Planets" for the system guide...

Not mad keen on either, I'm afraid.

For the Adventures section what about 'If There's A Rocket Tie Me To It' (a Snow Patrol song)?

I'd vote for 'Lonely Planets' for the solar system part too - the extra 's' ought to stop you being sued.

Not so keen on Lonely Planets - Islands in the Sky works much better for me.

Well, there's "Have Spacesuit, Will Travel" either for the adventure or solar system sections.

I actually like "Islands in the Sky" as well.

"Have Spacesuit, Will Travel" would be excellent for the adventures, I think, unless someone comes up with a better one.

How about "The Grand Tour" for the solar system description? Bracket the individual sections with chunks of a 1920's style upper-crust travelogue -- "And as a shrunken Sol is eclipsed slowly by Neptune, we bid farewell to the Azure Planet and its welcoming alien natives..."

As for the adventures section, how about "Thrilling Space Adventures Monthly! (5 cents)"

Not very keen on the first, I'm already up to 50-odd pages for the solar system bit, adding more words will NOT help! Besides, I'm using Weinbaum quotes for each planet.

Re the second, it doesn't quite work for me somehow, not quite sure why.

Thanks anyway, and thanks again for the galvanometer, we've already used it in a couple of lessons.
