Sorta like Starship Troopers, no?

  Heinlein's Rocket Ship Galileo (1947), actually. For a vague, SPOILER-ish description (the book's cover often gives it away anyhow): A group of teens build a moon rocket, but someone (wonder who?) is there to meet them.

    Noooo :P (I am actually reading the book right now ! - they were on their way to the moon when I stopped reading. I don't mind the spoiler that much. Since it's an ebook I don't have the cover anyways) On the story itself, it's almost too naive to be believed, but I hope it makes for a good movie. Heinlein's later novels are much better but often repeat themselves and he became obsessed with his "World as Myth" idea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_as_Myth http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_as_Myth) I wish they made a "Glory Road" movie... sounds like good material there :) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glory_Road http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glory_Road)

    > but someone (wonder who?) is there to meet them. Galileo? "I'm sorry kids, but your breathable atmosphere is in a another castle."
