Arthur C. Clarke is still designing the future

In case you didn't know, recently deceased Sci Fi author Arthur C. Clarke came up with the idea for satellites Like in detail, with math to back it up, not just like how you can claim to have come up with stuffed crust pizza or whatever. Well, now another idea of his is coming to reality. DARPA is designing a weapon called the MAgneto Hydrodynamic Explosive Munition (MAHEM.) The idea is basically to "hurl a jet of molten steal through space using an electromagnet." And Clarke used this idea in his 1955 novel .Earthlight. Found via Gizmodo.
