Sir Arthur C Clarke moves on to Moon-Base-Alpha
Sad to hear, but Sir Arthur C Clarke has passed away at the grand old age of 90. He wanted to be remembered as a "writer", rather for the myriad of other things he's got up to in his life-time. And that's how I'll always remember him, one of the best SciFi writers and technical visionaries to exist in the 20th Century.
Hat off to Sir Clarke, I read a lot of his books in my "formative" years.
