4.0

The foresight Heinlen had about nuclear power at the time of writing this is truly astounding. Couple this with how he approaches the psychological aspect of dealing with such power and this is a solid short story. The only thing holding it back for me is that some of the science ideas have not aged as well as others, which makes immersion difficult.
