Hearing "Retronautas", a Spanish podcast about science fiction, they comment how most of the sf writer of the 70s lost interest in the Solar System once the data from the exploration probes began to appear, and these data showed how unsuitable for humans the Solar System is.
One of the exceptions was Arthur C. Clarke, who kept a great interest in the data from the probes and in the Solar System, as his works shown. I wonder if this could be linked with the low interest he had in the characters or in their development.
