What an amazing man, what an amazing mind. I just learned he passed. At the same time, I heard about this farewell video. Thank you for posting it, and thank you to Mr. Clarke for all his wonderful words and ideas.
I had no idea he died! And I just did a report on him in like February! I am shocked and really sad. Jeez, I had no idea...this sucks. Now the only survivor from the great trio of minds is Hawking, now that Sagan and Clarke are dead. Who knows when Hawking will drop dead?
Bless your Heart Sir Arthur. What a wondeful Gentleman you were & thank you so much for your fantastic insight & for what you have added to humanity & I only hope we all follow your lead!!! Thank You Sir Arthur!!!!
The world's best known writer of science fiction, Sir Arthur C Clarke was the first to propose satellite communications in 1945. One of his short stories inspired the World Wide Web, while another was later expanded to make the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, which he co-wrote with director Stanley Kubrick. He has lived in Sri Lanka since 1956. Read full transcript of the video at http://www.tveap.org/news/0712art_tra...
