Heinlein Award
Robert A. Heinlein has been one of my favorite authors for a very long time. I count his novels The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Starship Troopers and Citizen of the Galaxy among my all time favorite books. I find his accounts of brave men and boys who changed their worlds and improved their lives through raw determination and self discipline to be very inspiring. Needles to say, when I read a blurb on Instapundit about a prize to be awarded in his honor it piqued my interest.
Dr. Peter Diamandis, founder of the X Prize and several other private space research enterprises, has become the first awardee. The $500,000 Heinlein Prize is awarded by Robert Heinlein's estate and is given to commemorate individuals who make significant advances in the private exploration of space.
Congratulations Dr. Diamandis!
