There aren't many writers left from the Golden Age of SF...now one less. I remember him alongside Asimov, Heinlein and Sturgeon. Sad he never lived to achieve his ambition to travel in space - but he leaves behind the concept of the geostationary communications satellite. I just hope the next generation will remember his contribution while they're downloading HD-quality movies.

Ironic he never patented the concept - he might have ended as one of the world's richest men. Oh well - his work at least will never be forgotten. Perhaps when lunar missions are resumed, someone could erect a monument to him in, say, the Tycho crater. Something in black, with dimensions in the ratio 1:4:9...(if you don't know where that comes from, you haven't read him!)
