Listen "Down to Earth, by Harry Harrison"
Episode Synopsis
Whatever goes up must come down. Including moon rockets. But there's no law saying what they must come down to. Today's story is "Down to Earth" by Harry Harrison. It appeared in the November 1963 issue of Amazing Stories on pages 53 to 71. Harry Max Harrison (March 12, 1925 – August 15, 2012) was an American science fiction author, known mostly for his character The Stainless Steel Rat and for his novel Make Room! Make Room! (1966). The latter was the rough basis for the motion picture Soylent Green (1973). Long resident in both Ireland and the United Kingdom, Harrison was involved in the foundation of the Irish Science Fiction Association, and was, with Brian Aldiss, co-president of the Birmingham Science Fiction Group.
