I just
read that
Arthur C. Clarke has passed away. He was one of the first science
fiction authors that I got into in a big way. Of course, I loved
"2001: A Space Odyssey" and I vividly remember reading the
serialization of "Rendezvous with Rama" in the now defunct science
fiction magazine "Galaxy". When I was an undergrad I was involved with
S
tudents for the Exploration and Development of Space
(which is apparently still around as evidenced by the link!) and got to
meet Mr. Clarke and get him to sign my copy of "2010". It is sad to
hear about the giants of science fiction going away.
