Carl Sagan? Gene Roddenberry?

Dreamers and doers. These are dreamers. So was Jules Verne and several others on the list.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

No doubt. What innovative work did Carl Sagan do for aerospace? He was on PBS TV, narrated documentaries, and he wrote a book compiling other people's astronomy/astrology discoveries. The biggest thing about Carl Sagan was his ego.

Ray Bradbury was a good sci-fi writer, but I don't remember him doing any groundbreaking aerospace work, either.

Gene Roddenberry?

He along with the Apollo astronauts are directly responsible for my choice of career.
