Although he had a degree in biochemistry and was a professor for a time, science fiction author Issac Asimov's true impact on the world came through his writing. He was an exceptionally prolific author and editor, signing his name to hundreds of literary works in both science and science fiction. Not surprisingly, in the army he got the worst score in his company on the physical conditioning tests, and the highest score in his company on the intelligence tests. Ironically, the author who avidly wrote about spaceships and other planets had a fear of flying. Only twice in his life did he actually board a plane, both while serving in the armed forces during World War II.
