Second direct hit by Clarke: Manned orbit of the moon in 5-years (1968, Apollo 8) The first was first rocket impact on moon 1959,, predicted in “Prelude to Space” written in summer of 1947.
Arthur C. Clarke was correct about flying around the moon in five years, meaning by 1968 -- barely. Apollo 8 orbited the moon one week before the end of that year. And the original NASA plan was for Apollo 8 to remain in Earth Orbit and Apollo 9 to orbit the moon. Still, let's hear it for Arthur, the best futurist ever!
Great video! The space race wouldn't have stopped if the USSR was still "alive" and strong to this day. Men would have set foot on Mars by now and probably we would have permanent installations on the moon.
Don’t agree. U.S. aspirations of sending people to Mars died in 1970, when NASA’s budget was greatly cut. That was a time when the USSR was strong and intact.
"Men would have set foot on Mars by now " Unlikely. The last years of the USSR saw serious financial constraints on their civilian space budget, because defence was always seen as a higher priority than propaganda.
I feel like still he had good reasons for predicting that. US and USSR competition accelerated technological progress. Once the Soviets lost, so interest in going further.
They had no clue the affects of deadly radiation. They thought their primitive technology was advanced enough to support human life out of low earth orbit.
Arthur Clarke being said by Patrick just does not sound right we need the C how much that was said was right but were the hell is our moon base may be that statement should include wink wink about the secret one
During the middle 1930's, "Arthur and Pat" were good friends at the British Interplanetary Society. In 1963 I think Clarke was contracted to various US media outlets to report on space, so he doubtless had inside knowledge on NASA's time-lines for Apollo.

Has this video been muted?
All science fiction.
men around Mars by 1985, manned landings by 1990 and permanent bases there by 1999. Whoops.

How can you have air with no vegetation ?
“Within 25 years (1988) there would be men on mars”. Clarke was so wrong - too optimistic about our priorities
You sure there's no men on mars ?
@@roni32 There's no money to make there, so yeah, I'm sure.

>1963 man on mars by 1999.
>2023 man can menstruate.
The moon isn’t able to be landed on

His most pro-Soviet phase?
