@oevega Yes sorry to say we did't have access to the Soviet footage because this video was posted about 12 hours after Arthur died. We wanted to get it online ASAP to make sure the media had something to use. We had been corresponding with Arthur just five days before he died so we were really, really sad. Given more time we obviously would have included Gagarin, Sputnik , Salyut etc.
Very well done and accurate. Thanks for assembling this!

Great tribute to Arthur Clarke. Too bad the examples exclude the Soviet achievements that preceeded Americans

Sir Arthur will be missed. The human race needs more people like him.
