It always surprises me how many people have read "Moon", as well as
other Heinlein works.

I had the pleasure of meeting RAH many years ago. I also "met" Isaac
Asimov, but I was only one of hundreds at a lecture/book signing, I met
Heinlein almost one-on-one, as my Dad introduced me.

My chances of meeting Clarke before he dies are very slim, as I do not
think I will ever get to Sri Lanka. I understand he appeared via
satellite at the recent Heinlein Centennial though. It's somehow
appropriate that he appeared via multiple-hop geo-synchronous satellite
link.
