Yes, I don't recall Clarke pushing commercial space to any degree. I read and liked nearly everything Clarke wrote up through
Imperial Earth. After that, I read some of his recent books, but not all, and consider them weaker than his earlier material. That's especially true of the collaborations (for instance, I read one of the Rama sequels and decided I didn't need to read any more).
But, Clarke definitely is one of the Golden Age Science Fiction writers.
