Arthur C. Clarke Awards event

I attended the 2016 Arthur C. Clarke Awards event, met the founder of Amazon in person, and I shacked hands with all three awards recipients this years, including Jeff! Jeff uses Amazon to fund Blue Origin (privately-funded aerospace manufacturer and spaceflight services). Arthur C. Clarke was one of the most important and influential figures in 20th century science fiction. Clarke was the first to suggest that geostationary orbits would be ideal for establishing worldwide telecommunication relays, satellite communication relays, later was named the Clarke Orbit by the International Astronomical Union. — at 1776.
