Some of us first heard of Bode&#x27;s Law[0] in childhood in the late 1950s, from reading Heinlein&#x27;s &quot;Time for the Stars&quot;[1]. I have never forgotten a throw-away remark by one of the characters, when Earth&#x27;s first-ever starship has for the first time entered a different planetary system, to the effect that &quot;the astronomer types upstairs are all excited because the orbits here fit Bode&#x27;s Law.&quot;<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Titius%E2%80%93Bode_law" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Titius%E2%80%93Bode_law</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Time_for_the_Stars" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Time_for_the_Stars</a>
