Heinlein retrospective Requiem book Requiem . Plot summary The point of view character, a physicist with a time travel theory, is approached by retired United States Senate Senator WilliamProxmire . Proxmire has come up with a scheme to abolish such money wasters as Proxmire views them as Human spaceflight space travel . His plan is simple many of those who worked for or advocated space travel cited the science fiction of Robert A. Heinlein as their inspiration. However, the iconic writer only began his career after being discharged from the United States Navy due to tuberculosis . If a time traveler were to cure Heinlein, he would presumably remain in the military and this impact on history would be negated. Sure enough, the scheme is carried out. However, Proxmire finds out that he has not succeeded as well as he would have liked. Although Heinlein s absence from the literary world of the new timeline did neutralize the science fiction magazine s of the 1950s, other authors took Heinlein s place just a decade later in mainstream literary magazine s such as The New Yorker . Science fiction thus gained an air of respectability, and inspired people to even greater achievements. Proxmire s political career ended when this culture of science fiction fans boycott ed Wisconsin cheese in response to his Golden Fleece Award s.
