  Nice interview, Dave. Sir Arthur C. Clarke was indeed a great mind, whose words will be igniting imaginations and inspiring scientists and speculative fiction writers for decades to come. I have many a fond memory of countless hours spent with my nose buried in one of his books.

  The BBC has posted an interesting article comparing Clarke's predictions to science fact.

  Leonard Rosenman (September 7, 1924 – March 4, 2008) was an American film, television and concert composer who won two Academy Awards. He was also an astronomer who had Celestron C-14 Compustar telescope which I saw at his home in the Hollywood Hills. He knew my step-grandfather who was concert master of MGM in the 1940's-50's.

  Many years ago he purchased several eyepieces from out telescope store for his Celestron C-14 Also Lenard Rosenman who also recentl passed away had purchased a Compustar C-14 (LA/Optical&Calif Telescope CO.)
