"aerobraking" is spelled just like this: "aerobraking", just as in "aerodynamics", "aerospace", and "aeronautical" !! Get with it and fox it!

my apologies for adding a space! I will correct it :-)

True... But I feel like trying to replicate Kubrick would've only ended in disaster. Besides, the books themselves feel very different, with 2001 being philosophical and metaphorical, and 2010 being political and almost religious. The movie nailed the book's feel. And it's one of a very, VERY small group of hard sci-fi movies out there, and it's entertaining and well-acted to boot, so cheers all around.

RIP Roy Scheider.

@bigdan7489 I have always wondered myself. Her name was Natasha Shneider. Turns out she played keyboard in Queens of the Stone Age. She died in 2008 from Cancer. RIP. Stunning looking women. Amazing what you learn online. :(

Aerobraking looks kind of extreme. Maybe we should include it for the Summer X-Games.

@DavidChipman The announcements may have been an intercom announcement for Dr Floyd's benefit, so he knew what to expect and when to hold on.

@phuturephunk Not without the proper proportions of oxygen.
