Aww drat. Now who is going to present "The Sky At Night!"

[Night Fury]

Very sad :(

[DMKA]

Never heard of him. Eighty-nine years isn't bad though.

[Balzac]

RIP Games Master! Thanks for the golden joystick!

[Shorty]

I don't know him but it looks like he got to be a ripe old age!

[Faris]

Name sounds familiar... Looks like he knew how to fill a chair and wear a bitchin monocle though.

[Balzac]

He's one of the biggest names in astronomy!

[Formalhaut]

I am absolutely surprised not many people here have actually heard of him.

[Madame Adequate]

I don't think he's at all well-known outside of Britain unless you're in astronomy circles, sadly.

He was great at astronomy and videogames 'tis a sad day indeed :(

[I Don't Need A Name]

And in Britain he was known as being goddamn epic. And for not liking Space Raiders (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXickS_Qbug).

First Dave Brubeck, and now this? WHY DOES EVERYTHING I LOVE DIE?!
