IEEE Spectrum radio has on audio podcast the last interview with Arthur C. Clarke.
Futurist and science fiction author, Sir Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008) created 2001: A Space Odyssey, as well as envisioning using geosynchronous satellites for global communication. He is also a huge proponent of the Space Elevator, and says that we will start building it 10 years after everyone stops laughing. He is probably right.
The Arthur C. Clarke Foundation continues to promote his vision.
