"I travel in my writing to the far ends of space," he would say, "so I don't have to travel in real life." Even if invited, he wouldn't want to go.

But he happily supported the space movement, serving on the NSS Board of Governors (理事会). Asimov, a workaholic who said he wanted to end his days "face down on my typewriter (打字机), " spent eight hours a day, seven days a week typing.

The Russian-born son of American immigrants, Asimov (1920―1992)began writing science fiction at age 11. His first story appeared in print when he was 18. As he continued writing, he completed college, earning a Ph.D. in chemistry.
