Arthur C. Clarke on This is Your Life

A user on Reddit shared this video with me when I was researching how Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick created 2001: A Space Odyssey. I was searching for the episode because I knew it featured a letter that Stanley Kubrick wrote in the 90's in which he praised Clarke's work. I didn't receive the episode in time to include the clip in my video about the film, so I've uploaded the whole thing here. You can check out my video on 2001: A Space Odyssey here: • Friendship and Betraya...

What a gem of an upload! I would've have loved it if they had played that now famous news clip of him predicting the Internet and mobile devices in 1974. Guess the Internet was too in its infancy at the time of this show and obviously ipads not coming around for another 20 years. His reaction to that prediction would have been so emotional to see.

This is possibly the most important This Is Your Life ever made. What a coup having Buzz Aldrin and Alexei Leonov there. Fabulous.

What year was this

I'm wondering that since it looks like the 90s but I thought he could no longer use his legs by then. Update: 1994 it is, says at the end how he was nominated for Nobel prize for that year.
