His destiny to become a great science fiction writer seemed apparent from the start, as young Heinlein was always seen in the Kansas City Public Library immersed in books of astronomy and science fiction. Although Missouri was his birthplace, his family only stayed there for a few more months after his birth, before deciding to move to Kansas City where he would be spending most of his youth. He was the third son of Rex Ivar Heinlein and Bam Lyle Heinlein. Robert Anson Heinlein was born in Butler, Missouri on July 7, 1907. And, rightfully so, it is because of his eclectic works and achievements in the field that he became its first Grand Master in 1974. Heinlein helped usher in the “Golden Age of Science Fiction”, which is a period of time during the late 1930s leading up to the mid 1940s when science fiction gained a large audience and following, and numerous science fiction stories were published. Popularly known as the “Dean of Science Fiction Writers”, science fiction would not have achieved its status as a genre that could stand on its own without Robert A.
