Another of my childhood heroes. Can still see his exitement as I watched the moon landings.
Up with the stars at last.

For me he will always be The Gamesmaster. Sad news.

I give it 4 days before somebody comes out of the woodwork and says he abused them in 1977 ..... according to the Sun newspaper

I hope not Badger. A true old fashioned eccentric who's enthusiasm for his subject was wonderful to see.

Re: Sir Patrick Moore.
 

Me too , but there seems to be a trend for this at the moment

I told the wife he'd passed on and it wasn't until I said 'The Gamesmaster' that the penny dropped.

Yep very sad.

Playing the xylophone with the stars. Ttfn, Sir, you were a very inspirational man.

Re: Sir Patrick Moore.
 

WTF... no news of this as far as i'm aware on national TV instead they are getting on their high horse about a phone prank.

as for abusing.. well he abused me, well actually my mind and for that i thank him.

It is sad and I truly hope that he led a life that did not include dubious activities and dodgy friends. Rest among the stars you scientific inspiration.
