Project Heinlein
I have, since just a boy of 13, been a huge admirer of Robert Heinlein and his stories. I have read almost every one, many a few times. He was a creative mind with a deep appreciation for knowledge and reason, and a very practical man. As such, there are many great quotes that have come from him. One of my favorites is this:
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. - Robert Heinlien
I have always found it held a certain truth in it. And so, I am going to attempt to complete this list one by one, to the best of my ability and resources. I will post these attempts under the category “Project Heinlein” and include images if available, etc. Some will be easy as they have already been done, many I have no basis in at all. Wish me luck and be sure to check in for updates.
