[FPSPACE] Farewell, Arthur C. Clarke - A consideration

[Charles Vick]

Let us hope and be thankful that Arthur is now with friends long departed in
that great space station star ship house of the Land Lord. Thinking in
purely humble human terms it is said to be a 1,500 miles cube. Think of what
it would take to build that based on mere human technology that exist today
verse what existed with the Land Lord of Millions of years ago. Just to
consider the size of the clustered beams bigger than any sky scraper man has
dared to build yet of the frame that supports and holds that facility
together with it's far in excess of 800,000-900,000 stories. The number of
dwelling places alone boggles ones mind in addition to its mass, and mass
momentum machine much less its environmental control, life support and
energy systems far beyond human capability. Truly a humbling thought of the
perception of this advanced civilization far beyond ours yet not really
alien and not that far away. 

Let us be thankful for the wise thoughts of Author Clark's mind for we are
richer for it because we are all her but a short period in time to
contribute to this mere human civilization that can perceive such
considerations
