Not that I'm bitter, but Brian Cox ignored my tweets asking for him to tweet about the KS... he deserves no accolade here I feel..
I´m surprised that nobody has mentioned Arthur C Clarke (2001: A Space Odyssey, etc). Heinlein, Asimov, and Clarke were known as the "big three" of science fiction.
Arthur C. Clarke
Bender Bending Rodríguez
Stephen Baxter
Arthur C Clarke
Gentry Lee
for arthur c clarke, have the giant cylinder from rama slowly traversing the galaxy. completely random when and where you might see it.
Patrick Moore (a Lunar city in the Mare Orientale which he discovered)
Arthur C. Clarke (a Lunar orbital station)
Carl Sagan (a Martian city founded on the site of the Carl Sagan Memorial Station)
Well if there is one unsung person that has contributed to society and done more amazing things than any other man I can think of at this minute it would have to be Brian Blessed. This man has done everything,
But I cant think of anything notable within Sci-Fi.
Oops..Erm...
... on the first two pages I looked at.
Skipped a few pages so may have missed it, but I sincerely hope Brian Blessed got a mention........
