Rest in peace, Arthur C Clarke, one of my favourite writers.

A real shame, he did put his name to a lot of crap later in life but a superb writer.

Irrespective of the more recent collective rubbish bearing his name, one of the great space visionaries, alongside the likes of Carl Sagan. He will be missed. RIP.

A sad loss

Any man who has a type of orbit named after him is worthy of respect.

RIP Arthur C Clarke. A true visionary if there ever was one.
