Yeh and he was a great futurologist too, perhaps the father of futurology. I expect all his obits have mentioned it but it is impressive that he predicted telecommunications satellites in Geosynchronous orbit in 1945!

I first knew him through his classic 70s-80s TV series Arthur C Clarke's Mysterious World which was just gold for the kid version of me. It was great this super-clever-science-guy was into the unexplained, ghosts and esp etc. Did you have that in the States?
