Submission + - Remembering Sputnik: Sir Arthur C. Clarke (ieee.org)
porslap writes: Sir Arthur C. Clarke shares his memories of hearing about the launch of Sputnik 50 years ago tomorrow in an interview with IEEE Spectrum http://spectrum.ieee.org/oct07/5584. He goes on to discuss the future of privatized space travel and his hopes for the future of humankind. He doesn't give interviews very often anymore, so this is a rare opportunity to engage the thoughts of one of the seminal hardcore sci-fi authors.
