…to Pete Worden:
“I am truly honored to receive the 2010 Arthur C. Clarke Foundation’s Innovator’s Award,” Worden said. “This prestigious award recognizes technology trailblazers whom I personally admire, and I am proud to be considered among them.”
I’m surprised, but pleased that Pete, probably the most politically incorrect center director ever, has survived the transition. But fortunately, he has friends in high places, if not all the way up in the White House.
At last, an award that someone actually deserves. Way to go, Pete!
Truly cool that he got the award. He was my wing commander in the Air Force way back when. I was looking up info about the award, and it says that they usually award it to someone under 40. The only other winner I found with a quick Google was Peter Diamandis.

I agree, a good choice. Congratulations!
