A genuine visionary who has now gone onto the greatest journey. This honestly surprised me as I thought he'd passed away a long time ago (around the same time as Arthur C Clarke).

RIP Good Sir.

May his name serve as the name for future settlements and ships of exploration to come.

RIP. A big name, but truth be told I wasn‘t aware he was still alive.

I thought he was dead as well, but at the time that I posted this, I checked his wiki page and it hadn't even been updated yet.
