Arthur C. Clarke is one of the greats of Science Fiction and will remain so until long after his death.

I look forward to the Rama movie coming in 2009.

RIP Arthur.

Important tidbit some may not know about:

"Author Arthur C. Clarke is credited with proposing the notion of using a geostationary orbit for communications satellites. The orbit is also known as the Clarke Orbit. Together, the collection of artificial satellites in these orbits is known as the Clarke Belt."
