It’s all in the details.
aaah… the famous velcro scene is coming up.
Clarke ends this chapter in the book speaking of man’s weapons:
“But now, as long as they existed, he was living on borrowed time.”
In the ‘making of 2001’ the instructions for the zero gee toliet were actually printed out. It was actually quite facinating.
First time I saw that, I was like, “How the frak is she walking on the wall?”
Took me a while to figure that out.
Topgun made a blog post about that.
mmmmmmmmm… back when computer displays in movies had to be animated by hand…
If you could, would you vacation on the Moon?
I know I would, at least once. The view must be incredible.
That was cool part in the book too… they showed how they made the set.
So long as the nuclear waste dosent explode and send the moon into deep space!
CGI is one thing, I’m still a sucker for old style model work.
Those chairs look soooo uncomfortable.
Love the inside of the Moon base, as the shuttle descends. The detail and the windows with people working inside, geekgasm!
Probably had long hair (as all women do in the distant future of 2001). In zero-G, she’d need something to reliably contain it.
Sorry you can’t join us, Phil. I was just thinking about you during the monolith scene.
Evolution, by intelligent design? The mind boggles. :eek:
And probably better quality than would have been possible at the time.
You’re right. I want one for my work cubicle.
I thot everyone was bald in the future. 
aaahhh, the moon bus. My favorite model as a kid.
Loved those space suits, remember the old Major Matt Mason toys? They mimiced them!
What do think about the camera work here? Moving close and far from Floyd.
Floyd looks nothing like Roy Scheider…
