2010 Destination Europa

[fehquig]

I always find pictures of space fascinating be they real or an artist's conception... You also picked the perfect music to go with them...

[rubyfall]

So you are NOT coming to my place on earth next year, ah well, lets swim on Europa then.

[PappyStu]

Some trips it seems rely predominately on our imaginations...

[battlebauble]

A Super-Colliding Pappy tearing open the mysteries of the universe! You have romantic vision for the sublime like no one else I know, Pappy. Thank you!

[PappyStu]

It really is... a rocketship

[battlebauble]

Pappy, I was speaking of you in glowing metaphorical terms, but if you insist on being a rocketship I won't stand in your way....ha,ha,ha! Watching you tear down that corridor had me thinking you were doing a Pappy particle accellerator experiment! ;)

[57Riptide]

You Rock Pappy Stu!

[PappyStu]

don't rub it in... I know I'm a rock veg

[jtls8]

Enjoyed!!!!

[PappyStu]

Thankee!!!

[DaveFromMooseJaw]

If I can remember there was another one after 2010 as well... Not sure anymore.

[PappyStu]

In 3001: The Final Odyssey, the Leonov mission is said to have taken place in the 2040s.

Also in 3001: The Final Odyssey, the Monoliths appear to have been defeated, at least within our own Solar System, rendering the events in 2001 (at the end of the 2010 novel) moot — however, perhaps after this time it is equally possible that the Monoliths might have returned, but it is equally possible that they should not have.

[Texcentric]

I liked the way he wrapped the story up in 3001. Did you read "Rendezvous With Rama"? I like that one too.

[PappyStu]

Thanks Compadre

[RatherDeadThanFred]

Power to the people!! As supplied by PappyStu... :) Great video.. another epic space journey in the hands of the master..

[BasicModelling]

I second that.. :)

[PappyStu]

[PappyStu]

or beermiester maybe.... he he

mucho gracias

[Evilspartacus]

This has a universal quality.

[PappyStu]

space from a spacy head eh vbg

[cooksterz]

HAL makes a change. Didnt read the second book by Clarke.. The story invokes hope, perhaps the more that is "out there", will be here!

The video, invoked something else. I feel small, I cry out to the beauty of this Universe; "Im only one person!!" there is no echo to follow. Its vast existence and energy, are so far away from our comprehension of Large. I love space photos, they have feelers on them. Little tentacles that grab onto my eyes, and i want them there!! Love this Pappy - provoking

[PappyStu]

Thanks Lass... fell short of the sugar plums dancing in my head... But don't they always?

[3CoolKats]

Great looking vid PappyStu! The long corridors kinda remind me of a particle accelerator.

It never ceases to amaze me the machines that man can envision and build. It's downright mind boggling.

After watching this I did a YouTube search on Europa since I *try* but fail miserably to keep up a bit with things space related. I didn't realize it was such an interesting place. Probable/possible ice surface with probable/possible ocean underneath, and heat from the core. Definite life possibilities

[PappyStu]

In "2010" mankind was warned off Europa, I never accept being told what not or what to... DO

[Texcentric]

I like those long hallway shots because of the seemingly endless perspective viewpoint. Looks like an interesting place to walk around. Big fan of the final frontier too (no not a trekkie.) I like Arthur C. Clark, not Roddenberry. Some of Clark's ideas actually became reality. Clark described a communications satellite in detail in a 1945 article. Clark 1917-2008 RIP.

[PappyStu]

Sometimes I feel like all the greats have died... but then I am a foggie

[Texcentric]

I know the feeling.

[MotherReiver]

Woot!!!

[PappyStu]

More like Attack of the Killa Tomatoes eh?
