About Arthur C. Clarke, his influence was great in the birth of Star Trek, since Gene Roddenberry read his essays book called “Profiles of the Future” and especially its “Index of the Future” included in this book. After reading that Clarke’s book, Gene decided that his next project would be a sci-fi series. Star Trek was born thus, thanks to the Arthur C.Clarke’s inspiration. So, I believe new Star Trek producers or the guys are making fanfilms must pay a tribute christianising a starship, planet, etc with the name of this great visionary as it was made for Bradbury, Asimov or Sturgeon.

kinda OT – but regarding the Planet Vulcan story – a similar thing happened a year or 2 ago with Superman when they found some real life Kryptonite (the componants of which were listed in the museum in Superman Returns):

then they found his fortress of Solitude hide out in a cave in Mexico (giant pillars of ice crystals shaped exactly like in the movies):

and they also found a giant planet obiting a red sun in a far away galaxy that could support life (Krypton was established as being much larger than earth)

JFK gave a big boost to Bond when it was announced From Russia with Love was either his fave book or fave film (i forget which)…

Reagan gave a big boost to First Blood Part II when he said something along the lines of ‘after seeing Rambo last night i know what to do..’ (or something like that)…

Maybe they could invite Obama to the Trek premiere or give a special screening at the white house (or even hold the premiere at the WH??)
