1/ on that note: I read Lucifer's Hammer when I was 10 or 12 or so (well, for the first time; have read it a few more times since). yes, yes, the scene that sticks with EVERYONE is the surfer ... but the OTHER scene that stuck with me was starving refugees arriving at the valley https://t.co/LKllE3GFgX

3/ That scene - probably even more than the Heinlein quote about "specialization is for insects" - motivated me to take the life path I did.

Read some Sci-Fi novel (long forgot the title) where the scene that stuck with me was similar Colonization spaceship lands on the plane but it is marooned. The planners have to explain to the ships crew that they will not need N-space astrogators for ~30 generations or so….!
