This is a thread to discuss the idea's put forth by a very influential American author, Robert Anson Heinlein.

Robert Heinlein wrote about the future because the future is where all of us will live. He made footsteps big enough for a whole country to follow, and it was our country that did it..we proceeed down the path marked by his ideas. That si legacy enough for any man. He showed us where the future is.
