Robert A. Heinlein. Grumbles from the Grave. Heinlein manages such a feat of compression in Have Space Suit — Will Travel, a space-travel story that is not simple, and with no sense of limitation.
Set 20 Minutes into the Future (of 1958, that is), the plot centers around Clifford "Kip" Russell, a young man who writes a whole bunch of advertising jingles for Skyway Soap, hoping to win a trip to the Moon. He doesn't come in first, but close enough to it to win a spacesuit.
