During World War II, as an RAF officer, Arthur C. Clarke was in charge of the first radar "talk-down" equipment, the Ground Controlled Approach, during its experimental trials. His novel Glide Path is based on this work.

It has been forty years since the publication of this classic science fiction novel that changed the way we look at the stars and ourselves. From the savannas of Africa at the dawn of mankind to the rings of Saturn as man adventures to the outer rim of our solar system, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a journey unlike any other. This allegory about humanity''s exploration of the universe, and the universe''s reaction to humanity, was the basis for director Stanley Kubrick''s immortal film, and lives on as a hallmark achievement in storytelling.
