The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress reference?

  It is a reference to The Expanse (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3230854/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3230854/)

    The Expanse authors got it from Heinlein, which was what I was referencing ;)

    ...no? In The Expanse it was rocks from the belt coated in "stolen" Mars stealth material. Luna's a UN colony, practically on Earth's doorstep, not a beligerent. The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress is the reference.

  That was my first thought. I haven't seen The Expanse, but in any case, Heinlein preceded The Expanse by decades.

    Science Fiction Science Fiction? It gets a bit meta there... but yeah, something something, shoulders of giants.
