I wonder if his last words were "OMG, it's full of stars!" :-)

He was my Childhood's End^H^H^Hhero.

I read Childhood's End in 1971 when it first came out translated into
Dutch. I have read thousands of SF books, good and bad, but Childhood's
End remains my all-time favorite. I'd love to see it as a movie, with
today's effects it could become spectacular.

Arthur, thanks for the memories...

And yet he was still an active author. Last month I finished his 2008
book called "Firstborn - A Time Odyssey: 3"

Clarke said a lot of it. And said it well. Now I've got some
reading to catch up on. His last book is to be published later
this year.

One of my big fans, I got a copy of a Discovery program when he unveils fake
ghost pictures using
a pdp11/70 (modern computers), a graphic terminal and software to manipulate
photo's.

Clarke who died at the age of 90 on Wednesday had left written
instructions that no religious rites of any faith should be associated
with his funeral.
