Sir Arthur C. Clarke, CBE: 16 Dec 1917 – 19 Mar 2008

If we have learned one thing from the history of invention and discovery, it is that, in the long run – and often in the short one – the most daring prophecies seem laughably conservative.
– Arthur C. Clarke, The Exploration of Space, 1951

Radar specialist, scientist, visonary and author.  One of the great pillars of science fiction whose works – short stories and novels, fired the imaginations of young and old alike through the ages.  Rest in peace Sir Clarke – we look forward to meeting you in the Great Beyond someday…
