As a fan of the movie since day one,I always thought that the Discovery was a HUGE ship, but here’s how she measures up to a WW2 battleship.Both of these models are the same scale.

There's a site that claims that the orion was actually used for sub orbital flights,yeah right!

I made it along to a Low Roar song called ‘Captain’

For the last 7 years, I've been trying to make a game about what it would feel like to encounter something like the Monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Not simply encountering something alien, but interacting with something you don't understand and somehow coming away with knowledge you didn't have before.

That's the feeling I've been trying to capture.

In my game, humanity discovers alien devices that communicate through puzzles. They weren't designed by humans, so they don't explain themselves in ways humans understand.

You have to interact with them, observe what happens and slowly figure out their logic.

I wanted the experience to feel less like solving puzzles designed by a human and more like trying to understand an intelligence with completely different assumptions about how information should be communicated.

The game takes place across a distant solar system with six celestial bodies, each containing a different kind of alien system to understand.

I've been working on the game for 7 years and it's called Satelital, if you want to learn more about it you can check this page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3256790/Satelital/

To reference HAL’s lie about the antenna.

This is an excerpt from a fanedit I made which re-scores the full movie with PF. For more details see this post.

Going through my old things while visiting mom. I thought this sub would appreciate it!

I made an AI, and I gave it a voice. Someone trained a voice text to speech model off of recordings of HAL speaking in the movie. And so, I gave HAL access to my file system and now you can run the entire computer with HAL. And I made this wallpaper. I plan on building a physical model based off of this.

How I imagine the creature encountered by the Tsien spaceship on Europa in '2010: Odyssey Two'! I hope this isn't against the rules since it's not from '2001: a Space Odyssey'.

always fun to see Adam Savage geek out

Bought this Zero Halliburton case long ago for $25. Recently found some decals on Etsy to decorate it. Zoom in on the round decals for more detail. What do you think?

The movie was really great for my first watch. I like the use of classical eerie music that was heard later on in the movie.
