Honouring Clarke


Sir Arthur C. Clarke (90), a Sci-fi pioneer, writer and visionary , best known for his novel "2001: A Space Odyssey" has died. He wrote more than 80 books and hundreds of short stories and articles. In the 1940s Clarke predicted that man would reach the moon by the year 2000, an idea that experts dismissed as nonsense. Clarke recorded a farewell message to his friends, saying in part that he would have liked to see evidence of extraterrestrial life during his lifetime.
During WWII he had served as a radar specialist in the Royal Air Force. Then he became involved in the British Interplanetary Society, where he proposed an idea for geostationary satellites as telecommunications relays...
Arthur's famous quotes:
*It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value.
*Politicians should read science fiction, not westerns and detective stories.
*The best measure of a man's honesty isn't his income tax return. It's the zero adjust on his bathroom scale.
*It may be that the old astrologers had the truth exactly reversed, when they believed that the stars controlled the destinies of men. The time may come when men control the destinies of stars.
