    Robert A. Heinlein did as well beginning with a stint as RAF pilot and going on from there.
    Frank Herbert, author of Dune, began his own research into the ecology of sand dunes while writing Dune. He became an expert of the subject of ecology.
    Of course Arthur C. Clarke did - he was the father of the technologies now possible from satellites.

    • Actually, Clarke predicted the geostationary orbit and its use.
