Most people on this board weren't alive when human walked on the moon. To many of them, it's just a story.

Sad day indeed. Arthur C. Clarke was way ahead of himself like telepathy. R.I.P

I've read that Rendezvous With Rama is going to be made into a movie. Morgan Freeman has been working on getting it made for 7 years.

Clarke was the first Science Fiction writer generally considered a credible guy by scientists. You didn't find salt-sucking monsters or such in Clarke's novels. Indeed I know of only one Clarke story to use a faster-then-light starship.

Clarke wasn't the only one proposing communications satellites in the mid-1940's: George O. Smith published a number of short stories, some during WW2 and probably security violations, about a manned satellite in a solar orbit chosen to act as a continuous communications relay to Venus, even when Venus was behind the Sun. However nobody's had a need for a full-time link to Venus yet so this doesn't get mentioned much...

While we're celebrating, wasn't he convicted of molesting young boys in Sri Lanka?

He was exonerated of the charges and knighted.

Yeah, it never even got to a trial. A British newspaper apparently fabricated the story.
