NorthSideSox72 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 According to CNN, he has died at the age of 90. No link yet. One of the best Sci Fi authors of all time, and one of my faves. He even helped inspire some modern space program initiatives. Rest in peace good man, and enjoy the heavens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I feature a great Arthur Clarke quote on an exhibit panel in the oceanographic visitor center I manage: "How inappropriate to call this planet Earth when quite clearly it is Ocean." I've always liked that. Mr. Clarke, a gifted writer and visionary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
