I just started reading Arthur C. Clarke's 2061: Odyssey Three for the second time (in almost twenty years), and came upon the part where he says the discovery of water on the moon opened the doors to the solar system. The book was copyrighted in 1987 and first published in 1988! A pretty amazing prediction!
I think most people know in 1945 he was the first to propose geostationary communication satellites. He modestly said someone else would have thought of it if he didn't, and no doubt he was right, but it doesn't diminish his remarkable ability to imagine something no one else had, only to see it become an every day fact. It just shows what a true visionary he was. :ugeek:
