The Centennial's Not Over Yet!
July 7, 2007 - 07/07/07! - was the birth centennial of American author, futurist, philosopher and spaceflight advocate Robert A. Heinlein. The science fiction Grandmaster's Centennial year was marked with a grand event on the weekend of July 6, 7 and 8 in his home town of Kansas City, Missouri, with more than 750 attendees. A full web update is coming soon, but in one sentence: The event exceeded all expectations and will resonate in the many worlds of Robert Heinlein's legacy for a very long time to come.
But that was just one event, in the middle of the Centennial year... and at the very beginning of a whole new century. There's much more to come. A full archival cleanup of this site, as well as reports and photos from the event, is in progress. You'll find all of that under Centennial Wrap-Up.
"The Next 100 Years" goes live soon... stay tuned. Check back here from time to time to see what's new!
