I didn’t grow up with
Mysterious World playing the background. Nor did I grow up reading his stories, but now, as an adult who has a love technology, exploration, and imagination I find myself genuinely sad at the lose of a great man,
Sir Arthur C. Clarke.
At the age of 90, Clarke passed away in is Sri Lankan home. He will be missed by many and honored by more.
Not long before his death Clarke recorded this video where he made some jokes, told some stories, and made three wishes. He wished for evidence of extraterrestrial life, a move to clean energy, and peace in Sri Lanka. With all three of those, I agree wholeheartedly. If you have 10 minutes to spare, I suggest you watch this moving final message to the world from a great man.
