2001 meets 2008
While visiting some of my favorite blog site I came across something interesting. My friend Robin Nettlehorst is a writer and, like me, a space junkie (not space junk, that’s something entirely different).
In today’s blog he noted that 2001 A Space Odyssey debut on this day (April 2) forty years ago at the Uptown Theater in Washington D.C. The general release came on April 6th.
Since I discuss commercial space travel in my book ZERO-G and include a significant scene on the space shuttle Atlantis I thought these video’s especially interesting. In the first video we see how Arthur C. Clarke and Stanley Kubrick saw space travel in 2001. In the second we see how it is really done in 2008.
Enjoy
