Arthur C. Clarke has gone beyond the stars

Writer, inventor and futurist Arthur C. Clarke died today at his home in Sri Lanka today at age 90.

I'm at a loss for what to write, but feel some kind of farewell is in order. I've read dozens of his books and I owe him for much of my interest in space and a better perspective of just how small and fragile this little water covered rock we call home is.

He didn't live to see his vision of the space elevator become reality, but I hope the rest of us will benefit from his legacy someday.
