Summary "The Rocketeers Have Shaggy Ears" by Keith Bennett is a science fiction novel written in the early 1950s. The story follows a team of astronauts, the titular "Rocketeers," as they embark on a perilous expedition on the planet Venus. The narrative delves into themes of survival, camaraderie, and the human spirit’s resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity, capturing the vivid danger and strangeness of alien environments. In the aftermath of a crash landing, the crew, led by young Lieutenant Hague, must navigate treacherous Venusian jungles filled with hostile fauna and flora, all while contending with dwindling supplies and rising tensions among themselves. The crew faces terrifying encounters, including carnivorous creatures and mysterious indigenous life forms, leading to loss and sacrifice. As they struggle to complete their mission and return to safety, the stark realities of leadership and the weight of responsibility weigh heavily on Hague, who must find a way to rally the remaining crew members. Through their arduous journey and shared hardships, they embody the essence of the Rocketeers and the legendary spirit of exploration, culminating in a poignant tale of perseverance and triumph against the odds.
