Great, now I want to watch the movies....esp. the one with young Helen Mirren being all Russki Space Commander!

*checks the IMDB listing for 2010*

Well, son of a bitch... Of course, I last watched that movie years ago, so it's not surprising that I didn't realize that.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic..I'm going to asssume that you're not..

Personally I can't buy any of the excuses/expanations offered; they are flawed arguments, said flaws having become evident within three seconds.

Why don't we just go there and have a look! It's only the next planet over; isn't this the twenty-first century?
Oh yeah right, I forgot..our space program doesn't send anyone out anywhere anymore.

I don't actually think it's a monolith. Ah, would that it were, though. Of course, even without it, the universe is far stranger then we imagine.

Nuh-uh, I know a giant white-smoke worm when I see one!

Truly that looks amazing; whence came it?


Say that background looks totally photoshopped. I keep trying to unfocus my eyes and see if it goes 3D, like those Magic Eye images.

:-p

It's from NASA's pic of the day site.

And I wouldn't doubt for a second that the picture has had some digital enhancement... maybe not Photoshop per se, but something.
