Yuri Artzutanov's Final Greeting to Arthur C. Clarke
Uploaded by: Novamir
Video Description:
Yuri N. Artzutanov's final birthday message to Sir Arthur C. Clarke.
Yuri was planning a visit to Arthur's home in the near future, but Arthur's departure only delays this meeting until some time - we hope for Yuri's sake- in the distant future when both can share a cup of tea made from the waters of Europa.
Yuri Artzutanov
A Russian visionary and engineer born in Leningrad, he is known for being one of the pioneers of the idea of the Space Elevator (a type of skyhook). In 1960 he wrote an article "V Kosmos na Electrovoze (English: Into Space with the Help of an Electric Locomotive)", where he discussed the concept of the space elevator as an economical, safe and convenient way to access orbit and facilitate space exploration. The idea was popularized in "Fountains of Paradise" by Sir Arthur C. Clarke.
