One of my favorites as well... Probably partly responsible for the geek I am. 90 years is a good life. Especially with his accomplishments. Good Journey Arthur...

The first novel that I remember reading was A Fall of Moondust.
He was a visionary. In addition to his writings, he proposed the idea of geosynchronous communications satellites.

2001 A Space Odyssey and A Childhoods End certainly influenced me and kept my head partially in the stars since my own childhood. I miss him already!

Wow, I'm right in the middle of reading Cradle. A huge lose to the SciFi world.
Somewhere in the cosmos, him and Isaac are shooting the shit.
