Summary "Rip Foster Rides the Gray Planet" by Harold L. Goodwin is a science fiction novel likely written in the early 21st century. The story follows Lieutenant Richard Ingalls Peter Foster, also known as Rip, and his crew—nine new officers known as Planeteers—as they embark on a thrilling space mission. Their assignment involves capturing an asteroid composed of pure thorium, a vital resource, while contending with the threats posed by both dangerous conditions in space and the potential for war with their rival, the Consolidation of People's Governments. The opening of the book introduces Rip Foster just as he is about to begin an exciting new assignment aboard the SCN "Scorpius", having graduated from six years of intense training. As Rip encounters his commanding officer, Major Joe Barris, and his fellow Planeteers, he learns the challenges they will face, including the hostility of spacemen and the urgency of their mission. Amidst humorous banter about their new roles, Major Barris emphasizes the importance of intuition over strict scientific reasoning, setting the stage for Rip's personal growth as he transitions from a green cadet to a leader in charge of a high-stakes operation. The narrative is fast-paced and filled with both lighthearted moments and the gravity of the Planeteers' mission, creating an engaging atmosphere for readers interested in adventure and science fiction.
