At the end of the earth, all mankind boarded a spaceship, thinking they had boarded Noah's Ark, and began an interstellar journey that lasted hundreds of years. Human beings have stayed on the spaceship for so long that they have forgotten the earth, the purpose of the journey, the progress of the spacecraft, and the universe outside the spacecraft, and have become orphans in space... And those who have seen the bright starry sky, will they choose to embrace the unknown universe, or return to the cabin and maintain the existing order? "Space Orphans" is an early work in Heinlein's "Future History" series. In this work, Heinlein imagined a dystopian scene in a "generation ship" and revealed the cruel truth about the "Cosmic Noah's Ark", seemingly warning mankind: If we build a Noah's Ark in the universe, will mankind be saved? Noah's Ark sailing toward the universe is a doomsday shelter and a space cemetery... This work popularized the concept of "generation spaceships" and influenced the creation of a large number of "generation spaceship science fiction" in later generations. It provided inspiration for science fiction masters such as Liu Cixin, Neal Stephenson, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Brian Aldis.
