    Default It's A Sad Day: Arthur C. Clarke Is Dead At 90

    What a guy. Talk about living a life on his own terms.

    It's sad to know THEY are all gone: Asimov, Heinlein and finally Clarke.

    I've read several of his books. Love them. I did not know he was still alive.
    RIP

    For those who don't know . . .

    Anyone who has Satellite TV, gets cable in the home, makes long distance phone calls, connects by the Internet to websites on other continents . . .

    Thank Arthur C. Clake.

    He wrote a paper in 1946 credited with more or less inventing the communications satellite. Not science fiction or some fluff piece of speculation but a real disseration on how to do it and what it could accomplish.

    It certainly puts him in the same lofty company as Philo Farnsworth and Frank Nasworthy.
