	Robert A. Heinlein
		He was at the top of his form during, and himself helped to initiate, the trend toward social science fiction, which went along with a general maturing of the genre away from space opera to a more literary approach touching on such adult issues as politics and human sexuality.
		In reaction to this trend, hard science fiction began to be distinguished as a separate subgenre, but paradoxically Heinlein is also considered a seminal figure in hard science fiction, due to his extensive knowledge of engineering, and the careful scientific research demonstrated in his stories.
		Many of the astronauts and others working in the U.S. space program grew up on a diet of the Heinlein juveniles, as shown by the naming of a crater on Mars after him, and a tribute interspersed by the Apollo 15 astronauts into their radio conversations while on the moon.

	Robert A. Heinlein at the Vintage Library
		Combining young heroes in positions where their courage and character would be tested, with the fantastical emerging possibilities of space travel proved to be inspirational to a generation of young readers.
		Even though these stories were written for a younger reader, one of the principle tenets of the juvenile stories was that if an adult would not be interested in the story, neither would the young reader.
		With a hugely successful series of short stories completed and a major contribution to children's literature underway during the 1950's, adult novels was the next frontier to be conquered.

	Galaxy Writers' Workshop -- Mike's Boy by Russell L. McCollom III
		Robert Heinlein wrote a short story called "Delilah and the Space Rigger," and that was Augie's favorite story of all.
		He was convinced that the future and the salvation of Mankind lay in the conquering and industrialization of space, and he was doing significant work, groundbreaking work, to further those aims.
		I was far too befuddled to argue and before I knew it Augie was demonstrating this proprietary skill of his by taking a quatrain at random and then supplying its meaning, telling little jokes and sidebars to enhance the interpretation.

	June 1996 booklist
		As Jay learns a bit about space, more about treachery and hidden agendas, and a lot more about the relationship between Erin, the Isolation and the rest of Maveen system, he skips from one danger to the next.
		Delilah and the Space Rigger is always interesting to read, but the ongoing surprise in the Luna City tales (It's Great to be Back and The Menace from Earth) and We Also Walk Dogs is the emphasis on married couples, both of whom work.
		I would go so far as to say that there are very few married couples where the woman doesn't work who are depicted anywhere nearly as favorably as nearly all the couples where both work.

		Best-known among his output is _Stranger in a Strange Land_ which, with its alien hero, Valentine Smith, and its optimistic message, holding out the possibility of universal amity, became something of a "hippie bible" in the 1960s.
		Indeed, Heinlein's reputation as a space mage stood so high that in 1969 he was invited to be guest commentator alongside CBS's Walter Cronkite, during the Apollo 11 mission which put man on the moon.
		To the end Heinlein retained the libertarian notions on which he had been brought up, and believed that governments had no business to be meddling in the lives of individuals.

		Although some feel that too many GM Nebulas have now been handed out, there is no argument that Heinlein stood first in line to receive one.
		This George Pal-produced classic, directed by Irving Pichel, was one of the very first realistic space movies, which is fitting, since Heinlein was the technical advisor and the great Chesley Bonestell was the scenic artist.
