As a fumble mouthed teenager back in 1969 in the Phoenix College auditorium, 
I was going to as Clarke what was the major disappointment in the NASA space 
program.

But I said "NASA space policy."

"Well, that's the problem," he said before I could correct myself. "They have 
no policy. They can only do what's been funded by your Congress."

He also said at that time that he could never write a sequel to 20001.

The future just ain't what it used to be.
