Another read: R is for Rocket
A bunch of short stories. Some boring ones about 1950's awe and wonder about the future, but some real gems as well. A story about stranded humans adapting to a planet that is both too hot by day, and too cold by night. The dangers of a planet that has a female personality, showing both love and anger to temporary visitors from Earth. A crash landing on a terrible planet on which there are permanent torrential rains. An incompetent time travelling dinosaur hunter disrupts the present by stepping on a butterfly in the past (a sort of butterfly effect). A spaceship travels to the sun and scoops up some sun-stuff. An ancient sea monster regularly comes up from the deep to answer the calls of a light-house's fog horn. And some lesser stories. Mostly though, some good shorts from a classic SF author.
