Robert A. Heinlein
Arthur C. Clarke
Well known for nonfiction science writing and for early promotion of the effort toward space travel, his fiction was often grand and visionary.
I'm myself--I just received a magazine with the latest story I sold! :) (No, you haven't heard of me...yet.)

Heinlein can't be right for me- I posted this years ago:
E.E. "Doc" Smith
"While "looking up other things," I ran across a fond old name I hadn't seen in ages-- E. E. "Doc" Smith, father of the Space Opera. I read most of his books as a teenager, and while I frankly recall little other than I wanted to be Blackie DuQuesne, I thought I'd post these links for your enjoyment."
