More sad news:
Arthur C. Clarke, visionary inventor and science fiction author, died today in his home in Sri Lanka. Clarke pioneered the concept of the geosynchronous orbit and communications satellites, as well as writing classic science fiction such as
Rendezvous with Rama and
2001: A Space Odyssey, which Stanley Kubrick turned into the iconic
movie of the same name. He also joined Walter Cronkite as a commentator for the Apollo Moon missions.
Godspeed.
