Farmer In The Sky is a 1953 science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein about a teenage boy who emigrates with his family to Jupiter's moon Ganymede, which is in the process of being terraformed. A condensed version of the novel was published in serial form in 1950 in Boys' Life magazine (August, September, October, November), under the title "Satellite Scout".

Robert Heinlein, along with others with names like Asimov, Clarke, Bradbury and Sturgeon was among the writers from the so called "Golden Age." of Science Fiction.
Although much of the science in this book is now dated and obsolete, a lot of it was amazingly prescient. It is about a teenaged boy whose family left Earth to join a colony on Ganymede, one of the moons of Jupiter.
Farmer in the Sky was written for young people over a decade before Alan Shepherd was the first American to "blast off" to the edge of outer space.
I have little doubt that many of the scientists and engineers who made that possible were inspired by books like this one.
Back to the future.

As I have grown to need reading glasses I splurged on the audiobook so I could enjoy listening to this favorite story while engaged in routine tasks and found the performance by the narrator delightfully entertaining. Highly recommended for parents who want to get their scouts interested in science.
A lifelong favorite, a scout colonizing Ganymede!
