I’m sure Asimov is far less boring. But he tried to be in advance of his time. Coming up with a realistic scenario of extraterrestrial planetary inhabitation in the early 1800s is no mean trick. Of course if God puts you there then you don’t need to bother with space rockets.

Hubbard came around too late to explain the LDS.

I suspect you were thinking of some older Science Fiction writer. Hubbard and Asimov were contemporaries. According to Wikipedia, Hubbard knew and associated with writers such as Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, L. Sprague de Camp and A. E. van Vogt.

L Ron Hubbard - Mar 13, 1911- Jan 24, 1986
Isaac Asimov - Jan 2, 1920 - Apr 6, 1992

Of course, I must confess I have read almost no Hubbard and almost all of Asimov's great Sci-fi works.

Heinlein is still the best!
