more gutted about Arthur C Clarke tbh. Rendezvous with Rama is awesome.
Anyway why was it always ok for an old guy dressed as a sea captain (when he clearly wasn’t one) to hang around with a bunch of kids on his boat, saying things like “look at the lovely white stuff inside” and no one was ever remotely suspicious. Now invite the same kids to play at the Neverland ranch complete with fairground and Bubbles the chimp and the world suddenly wants to kill …sorry sue you.
