He's the lead character in Heinlein's story "The man who sold the Moon".

A quote: "The moon rocket is gone.  Even the shuttle is gone.  We are
back to where we were in 1950.  Therefore, we must build a new rocket
and fly it to the moon!"
The story was written, BTW, in *1949*  (that's right, forty-nine,
not eighty-six)
