While it is just the day before the new Persian year of 1387 and also spring, I get a bad news for Sci-Fi world and all space enthusiasts. The very respected pioneer in Space, Radar, and Sci-Fi writings, Arthur Charles Clarke died at age 90 today morning.
I was always a fan of his, and while volunteer at project SETI, I could see how strong this man is, still help SETI sending emails to people to support the project in any form they can.
He was part of Radar development project, he was the man who worked on now called Clarke Orbits, actually making sending satellites to the sky possible.
His latest three wishes at his 90th birthday back in December 2007: Extra Terrestrials be found some day, The civil war in Sri Lanka ends, and the world to go for cleaner sources of energy.
After a work on Great Barrier Reef, he moved to Indian Ocean and stayed in Sri Lanka till the end. He also remained an scuba diving enthusiast; “I’m perfectly operational underwater,” he once said.
Peace be Upon him. World very rarely gets men of such quality.
Paymaan.
