Ok well has anyone else read all of the Space Odyssey series? I have read all of them and I have to say WOW. You'd think Clarke could see the future. And the great news for us scifi fans, he predicted a FTL drive in 3001, and he's not been wrong at all technologically. Yes, according to him, we should have gone to the moons of Jupiter five years ago, but hey, we had the technology then and we do now.
