I'm curious how Heinlein finished this story - it felt slightly rush for time in the ending for air time. ( I expected a bit more of a moral or lesson to it.) I really felt teleported into the world and enjoyed the fantasy of alternative long distance travel. When stuck on the road in L.A. traffic, I often thought some sort of conveyance would solve a lot of the bottle necking of people trying to slide into an interchange lane at the last second 😊.
Bela!!! ❤
Love the moaning 😮
I love Brother Ray, as Bob calls him. Glad he is a part of this program. 😊
That ending surprised me. Very fun. 😊
Very cool. I love the time shift. They say time slows to those observing an object in the event horizon of a black hole, but not to those within that space. Curious to transfer that theory on the atomic level. ❤
That was a very good but sad tale. Thanks for sharing.
I agree, well told story, but I kept waiting for the happy ending.
I love the man in the moon.😁
Thanks! It is a cute story with a fun twist at the end.
This is a re-upload. I had mis-named one of the characters and so I re-did the script, and also, the script scrolling wasn't always in sync in the original. As I continue to make these videos the quality improves and I just thought the original of this one was sub par and I wanted to fix it. I hope you'll watch again, like, and comment!
Enjoying Again !
cute opening - a nice surpise
Some folks look for excuses to be offended. If reality is offensive don't read sifi.
Did not know about the earlier 2 components for Orphans of the Sky !! really enjoyed that book, during Junior High ...
I'm sorry that people have left because they were offended. It's just fiction trying to teach something. I enjoy these stories. Thank you!
this is funny - made me laugh!
This is a re-upload. I'm getting better at presenting these Old Time Radio shows and I had uploaded this story before. But there were a few typos and missed words in the script I needed to fix, and I wanted to add some commentary notes, and animate the teaser at the beginning. And since these OTR shows are fun to listen to multiple times I hope that if you have already heard it, you will listen again and maybe hear some new details you missed the first time around. Or if you are listening for the first time, you will come back and listen again!
Sounds like his wife wrote it to me.
not a #spoiler ~~ the set up starts like "Captains Courageous"
If only we had stayed on the path of upgrading our tech maybe we'd be in a similar furutre!
Ahh, 1987, a time of space travel and taxi helicopters. They were pretty hopeful for the future back in 1950!
That's for sure. They needed to add another century to that projection!
I couldn't help but remember the Twilight Zone Episode "People Are Alike All Over". ( 1960) Wiki says that episode was based in "Brothers Beyond the Void" by Paul W Fairman (written 1952) and was the inspiration for the TZ ep. But I think they were both inspired by Bradbury's story. 😊 Excellent story.
I was pregnant with my youngest son when we "landed on Mars". I somehow missed this event. 😂😅
Good thing we've never had to make those decisions. 😮
Very suspenseful and exciting!
Rhysling was awesome. Did the actor sing the songs or did they have someone else sing? Whoever it was had a beautiful voice. 😍
Singer / songwriter Thomas Zachariah Glazer (1914 - 2003) wrote and sang for this episode. His voice was really lovely and the songs were catchy. I had "Hear the Jets" in my head for days!
Nice twist ending.😢
Thank goodness for Mr. Wollheim. Our books and movies are more fun with Science Fiction stories. ❤❤
Fun! I had a feeling about the Hollywood guys. 😉
I wouldn't mind having one of those....😁
It certainly would make packing up to travel a lot easier!!
@@insights2reality100😂
I like the "roll splash glub glub glub" particularly 😁
Thank you!! I appreciate you noticing the effort on the sound effects :-)
SO CUTE!!!!
That's a sad one, but still very good.
Yes, and still apropos today. You would have thought humanity would have improved a little over the past 75 years.
@@insights2reality100 Having read history and studied humanity as best I can, I have no expectation of humanity "improving". The last century has been amongst the most brutal and violent eras yet known.
And it seems we continue to NOT learn from our mistakes.

One of my favorites. I kind of like creepy. 😂
As a youngster I read all Heinlein's short stories and most of his novels. I've always felt this one worked better in print than on the air -- Heinlein could gloss over the implausibilities that become hard to ignore in a dramatisation. 🤔
I agree, and the character development too. The pivotal interaction between Van Kleek and Gains is more fleshed out in the short story. I hope listeners who liked this Radio Play of THE ROADS MUST ROLL might be inspired to read the original story. It can be found online for free!
I enjoyed this. Thank you!
I'm glad you liked it! Heinlein was a very clever author.
What a great ending! Thank you.
It surprised me, too
Oh yeee
I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you!
Your welcome! I am always so encouraged when I get views the same day I post it. I appreciate you watching it :)
Rhysling reminds me of Homer, the Greek bard!
Excellent!
I love the opening image here - great job.
Thank you! I was trying to capture the story without giving away any spoilers.
Very clever, great imagination! I really liked this one. Thank you for all your work doing these.
Pure escapism
