He's still alive. I managed to see him speak in person at some public jig. He's confined to a wheelchair though thanks to a stroke he had, and pretty weak physically but he still had the energy to talk to everyone about his life and such. Very interesting life he's lived. I mean seriously, have you ever in your childhood had a guy in a circus surrounded by arcs of lightning point his finger at you and in an awe-inspiring voice say, "LIVE FOREVER!"? :D
What's her bust size!?

Gah, can't believe I missed this. Just re-started Rama, too.

I think the enduring image of him in my mind is him being interviewed a couple of years back, wearing a T-shirt reading 'I invented the satellite and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.'

Well, goodbye Arthur. May your future dreams be realised one day, eh?
According to wikipedia, "the Mohorovičić discontinuity is the boundary between the Earth's crust and the mantle."
According to Starbound, it's a problem solvable with enough combat drugs to turn you into the Incredible Hulk.
