Fiction, the heart of the dream
or
Plainly, he did have a space suit

I would like to quote here from Requiem

       The National Aeronautics and Space Administration 
             Awards to Robert Anson Heinlein
                          the
                         NASA
             DISTINGUISHED PUBLIC SERVICE MEDAL


In recognition of his meritorious service to the Nation and mankind
in advocating and promoting the exploration of space. Through dozens
of superbly written novels and essays and his epoch making movie,
Destination Moon, he helped inspire the nation to take its
first step into space and onto the moon. Even after his death, his
books live on as testimony to a man of purpose and vision, a man
dedicated to encouraging others to dream, explore and achieve.


     Signed and sealed at Washington, D.C.
