Heinlein's Prediction Comes True: William Proxmire Dead at 90

OK–tell us about the Heinlein Connection. :rolleyes:

He was one of the greats. Too bad he never ran for president.

President Heinlein?

:dubious:

Prediction #10. :smiley:

Who is this Rye clown? Making snide remarks nearly fifty years after Heinlein first said them really wants me to take his side.

And as I read it, what Heinlein said about Proxmire not being able to live forever wasn’t a prediction, but more of an assertion that the US Congress would get away from the Senator’s “Golden Fleece Award” mentality and start funding more exploration of space.
