Sadness

My favorite sci-fi author, Arthur C. Clarke died today...actually he died wednesday morning. He is the kind of guy who would die in the future.

I am no sci-fi geek but of what little I do/have read, Clarke is my favorite. Honestly, can you do better than 2001: A Space Odyssey?
"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
What?
"Without your space helmet, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult."
Why am i including random quotes from the movie?
"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do..."
Ah, i am laughing even though no one else is.

Everyone think about geosynchronous orbits and remember Clarke.
