Dear John,
If you take a look at the story "Brick Moon" by Nathan Hale ( yes, that Nathan Hale) you will see a description of space based orbiting telescopes that predates Clarke ( the child abusing member of NAMBLA) by many decades. best Penny Clarke gets credit for the idea of using a synchronous satellite as a commication satellite--too bad the idea was published by Constantine TS. many decades earlier. He did write some nice SF stories though. |
