[mentioned in passing] Died in a laboratory explosion on Luna. A memorial
was set up to him and other victims.
Delos D. Harriman
Business tycoon who inspired and largely funded many space-related
endeavors, including the first trip to the moon. Harriman is mentioned
indirectly in most of the Future History stories, mostly in businesses and
institutions bearing his name. In "The Black Pits of Luna", he is referenced
indirectly; the Harriman Trust is Richard
Logan's employer.
Younger son of Harriman
executive Richard Logan, brought to the moon during his father's a business
trip. He was older than the name implies, probably about five; he was
obviously quite spoiled and used to getting his own way. During a guided tour
on the lunar surface, he wandered away and got lost; his older brother Dick
Logan eventually found him after other efforts failed.
Dick Logan
Older son of a Harriman
executive, and a Boy Scout. He
visited the Moon with his family, and was the only one to appreciate the
experience. When his younger brother wandered off during an "outside" tour,
Dick found him after other efforts failed. There is an implication that he
would return to the Moon when he grew up.

Mrs. Logan (no first name)
Woman who accompanied her husband to Luna for a business
trip; she hated the experience except for the opportunity to wear scanty
formal attire. She referred to herself as "Mother Dear".
The Heinlein
Society was founded by Virginia Heinlein on behalf of her husband, science
fiction author Robert Anson Heinlein, to "pay forward" the legacy of Robert A. Heinlein to future generations of "Heinlein's Children."
