"The Menace From Earth" is a science fiction short story by Robert A.
Heinlein, first published in 1957.
The "menace" of the title is a beautiful woman who visits the Moon and
is assigned a young guide named Holly, a girl student and aspiring starship
designer whose hobby is flying in a great cavern in the Moon, made possible
because the gravity field is one sixth the strength of Earth's. Her
