"Nothing Ever Happens on the Moon" is a science fiction short story written by Robert A. Heinlein and published in April and May 1949 〔G.074 in (James Gifford )'s (Heinlein Opus ) (PDF): short story.〕 in ''Boys' Life'', a magazine of the Boy Scouts of America, who jointly hold copyright with Heinlein, dated 1976.〔 The story is about a boy who tries to become an Eagle Scout on the Moon. Though the story is not usually counted among the Future History stories, Heinlein wrote in a foreword in ''Expanded Universe'' that "This story is compatible with the so-called 'Future History' series. It is also part of my continuing post-War-II attempt to leave the SF-pulp field and spread out." 〔''Expanded Universe'' pg 276 of the Ace Science Fiction first paperback printing, 1981.〕 Heinlein wrote a "teleplay" or treatment, date uncertain but possibly sometime in 1959. It was not published or produced.〔G.141 in (James Gifford )'s (Heinlein Opus ) (PDF): teleplay.〕 The short story is approximately 30 pages (13,000 words〔Alexei Panshin's ''Heinlein in Dimension'', (Chap. 3, part 2 )〕) as collected in ''Expanded Universe'' (1980).〔G.193 in (James Gifford )'s (Heinlein Opus ) (PDF): ''Expanded Universe''.〕 The story was again collected in ''Off the Main Sequence'' (2005). == Setting ==
The story is set on the Moon, in the mid 21st century or later.〔Estimated at least two generations (50 years) past 1995 from story details (a recovered driver's licence).〕 During the adventure, Heinlein weaves many explanations of problems, details and consequences of surviving on the moon under harsh lunar conditions, such as vacuum, temperature extremes, the extended lunar "day" and reduced gravity.
