@DoctorJK3 you're right about the movie, but in Clarke's books the TMA1 was found in 1999, since when it was found 'Discovery' hadn't launched yet, and according to the story it takes two years to get to Jupiter (Saturn in the book).

Filmen 2061 & 3001 !

Very Suspenseful. O.O

I also love the factual and continutity errors in these titles: Tycho where TMA-1 (the Monolith in 2001) was located is no where near the Sea of Tranquility, and finding TMA-1 took place (per the movie 2001) around FEB 2001 (you see 021201 on the photo in the original movie where someone says 'here's what started the whole thing').

The ambient music in the begining is Ligeti's Lux Aeterna and can be found on the 2001: A Space Odyssey soundtrack.

This was a great movie, but it did differ from the book quite a bit. In the book, the US and USSR were friends and there wasn't anything about the Cold War or a conflict in Central America. They also totally ignored the Chinese storyline about landing on Europa.

Sunrise on the VLA, which means the sun is coming up from somewhere close to Langmuir labs, which would often launch weather balloons, which would sometimes get mistaken for aliens, which are the subject of this movie. What a funny little world we live in! (Or maybe that's just New Mexico? ;)

@pigd0g301 Have a look at /watch?v=P95NWAHWLrc
and the follow up videos. They explain some of the symbolism that we miss when watching 2001. You're in for a treat.

@matrags It went wrong with economy as people (Banker morons overwhelmed with greed) in power prefer not to fix it but to fuck it up completely as we see in evidence of the recession.
