I'm half way through Out of the Silent Planet and was wondering if we ever find out what the English names of the planets Perelandra and Malacandra are. It's not really important, I'm just curious. Malacandra could be Venus (I think it's gravity is less than Earth's), Mars, or Pluto, since Lewis ruled out Mercury because of the cool climate. It seems like Pluto would be too cold by the same logic. If the names aren't give flat out, which planets do you think they are? By the way, the book is great.
Then said Littleheart son of Bronweg: "Alas for Gondolin."
And no one in the Room of Logs spake or moved for a great while.
Pro published order! Poster of The Wardrobe's 40,000th post. That earns no merit, but I feel pretty cool about it anyway.
