(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
This juvenile novel inspired Joseph Lawrence Greene of Grosset and Dunlap to develop the Tom Corbett Space Cadet series of TV shows that was so popular in the early 1950s, as was the comic books, comic strips, novels and radio plays that were associated with it. Greene had originally submitted a radio script for "Tom Ranger" and the "Space Cadets" on January 16, 1946, but it remained unperformed when Heinlein's novel was published.
A space cadet is somebody who deals with reality in a way consistent with them being under the influence of (or "spaced out" on) drugs (slang).
