:cry:

One of my favourite writers from late childhood and teen years. A legend in his realm.

Not really 2010, but close to.

Known as the father of the satellite industry he has an entire orbit named after him. The "Clarke Belt".

Ah. *sigh* Another golden age sci-fi author is gone. 90 years is a good run. R.I.P. Alan C. Clarke.

This man wrote some of my absolute favorite science fiction. He was so far ahead of his time and he will be missed.

A grand author who literally made my heart soar. He was also a great person who led an adventurous life. Almost a rennaisance man. I will miss him.

Two geniuses lost in the space of 24 hours, first filmmaker Anthony Minghella and now Sir Arthur, the world is a much poorer place for the loss of these two great men.

One of the greatest writers ever... R.I.P. Sir Arthur C Clarke

I wonder if some of his ashes will be put into orbit???:hmm::hmm:

I only popped in on this thread to say good bye to the last of the great three sci fi authors who will be sadly missed. :cry:

Thank you for your great books which I enjoyed reading over the years.

Rest In Peace
Arthur C. Clarke

And we lose another wise incitefull man.....

"The intelligence of the planet is constant, and the population is growing. "

A truely great writer. I'm sure he will be missed by many.

R.I.P

Rest In Peace!

In a way, I am kinda glad he pass on. From what I read, his last years were non too comfortable with all his illnesses and disabilities.

I am glad he found peace and is no longer suffering.

I enjoyed his books

The only Science fiction authour I ever really cared much for. A visionary and a wonderful writer. Strangely enough, I only just tracked down an old copy of 'Arthur C Clarke's mysterious world' yesterday and was reading it when I heard the news.

RIP. :cry:
