Not the typical story. Surprise ending.

I first read Robert Heinlein as a teenager. I am now 75 years old. Heinlein's works still are filled with characters with that ring true. Ordeal in Space is a pleasure to read. It is about how a Spaceman grounded by a fear of heights from an incidence in space overcomes it and regains his self confidence.
