    Thank you very much, FD, for this link; I only moments ago heard the announcement on NPR but wanted the details ...

    And they arrived by the hand of the winged messenger, by Hermes himself.

    Sorry.

    I hope he has now discovered the impossible ... for all of us.

    The last of the Big Three is now gone! It is the end of an era.

    Mr. Clarke had "90 orbits around the sun....being in a wheelchair doesn't stop my mind from roaming the universe."

    RIP Mr. Clarke.

    What a great writer. VM44, you're right he was the last of the big three. I grew up on those guys, and learned a lot of science and math in the past. Clarke was a visionary in the real sense of the word.
