They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but the sea.

Arthur C. Clarke: 16 December 1917 – 19 March 2008 R.I.P.


Day by day, we see our world getting poorer.

The giants on whose shoulders we have stood to see further are passing away.

Humanity has shown immeasurable talent. But some losses seem so painfully irreplaceable.


"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".
Arthur C. Clarke



We can only promise that we will continuously strive to make that moment come true. Each and every one of us who share that vision, no matter how small our contribution may be. The dream lives on.



Arthur C. Clarke
16 December 1917 – 19 March 2008

Requiescat in pace
