Happy 90th, Arthur C Clarke!

By at 4:49 am Monday, Dec 10


Hey, it's Sir Arthur C Clarke's 90th birthday on December 16th, and the Sri Lanka Astronomical Association is collecting birthday wishes from Sir A's many fans, admirers and friends. Thilina sez,
Today, the Clarke Orbit has over 330 satellites. Sir Arthur C. Clarke, a science-fiction author, inventor, and futurist, simply a greate mind celebrates his 90th birth anniversary on 16th of December, 2007.

In 1959, he founded the Ceylon Astronomical Association (now known as Sri Lanka Astronomical Association). As the current General Secretary of the Association, I'm honored to run an association founded by him. And as a big fan of his writings and admirer of his work, I have put up a blog where every one could wish him for his 90th birth day.

If you are a friend, colleague, fan or simply an earthling who admires work of Sir Arthur Clarke, please write your greetings and good wishes on the blog.
