A good read, thanks for the link.
A bit of a glitch on page one though:
"Clarke couldn't pinpoint the exact reference that got him thinking about geostationary satellites. “One of the moons of Mars, Phobos, is always in a stationary orbit,” he mused. “That probably got me thinking.”
I assume this is an error in transcription on the part of the writer ... I'm sure Clarke knew perfectly well that Phobos isn't in a stationary orbit!
