Arthur C Clarke has died.  "2001:A Space Odyssey" and "Childhood's End" launched me into the cosmos and I've never looked back....in 1969 I had to wait  outside the cinema in the car while my dad and older brother went to see "2001" as it was claimed that, at 9 years of age, I'd be too young to understand it....got my own back when it came out on VHS, by watching it from beginning to end about twenty times.....

He left instructions for a strictly secular funeral, with no religous overtones - way to go!

I went to the same school as him, Huish's Grammar School in Taunton, Somerset, although about 45 years after he was there......

Condolences to his family and bereaved ones.

My self-build system - Vista 64 on a Kingston 240GB SSD, Asus P5Q Pro MB, Quad 6600 CPU, 8 Gb Geil Black Dragon Ram, CoolerMaster HAF932 full tower chassis, EVGA Geforce GTX 750Ti Superclocked 2 Gb, Coolermaster V8 CPU aircooler, Enermax 600W Modular PSU, 240Gb SSD, 2Tb HDD storage, 28" LCD monitor, and more red LEDs than a grown man really needs.....I built it in 2008 and can't afford a new one, yet.....!

My Software - Poser Pro 2012, Photoshop, Bryce 6 and Borderlands......"Catch a  r--i---d-----e-----!"

And in my final hours - I would cling rather to the tattooed hand of kindness - than the unblemished hand of hate...

I thought I felt a disturbance in "the force" this morning . . . It felt like Paul McCartney had died or something. Now I know why. Sad.

I really loved Childhood's end....     I guess he is on his way to his odyssey....   He will live on as long as people are interested in space...

If I could make a hundredth of the impact that Arthur C. Clarke did in his life time I would be astonished.   He has been a great influence on many of us and probably will continue to do so even after he himself has left us.

A nice guy.

I hope his 3 wishes come true.

small body...Huge Loss...this is the passing away of a true visionary...he will be missed.. ...

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

Arthur C. Clarke, happily he will be substituted, but never overcome. 
A believer of the knowledge and your faith could not be tested, therefore she doesn't base on evidence; she bases on a deep need of believing, Carl Sagan said like this. 
 
Sadness deep, but certainly cheerful for having read and attended a lot of your work.
