I sure wish I could make it. Totally impossible. Y'know, they've got an IMAX theater at Kennedy Space Center; you'd think one of these days they would show...
Unfortunately IMAX is a totally different system than 70mm so it would not be showable in that format. There is however a process to digitize a movie and...
Guess it would require a conversion.didn't think of that. I wondered why the Apollo 13 DVD had the standard movie as well as the IMAX version - I mean, unless...
Yes, the IMAX conversion is fairly recent, but it really looks like the movie was shot originally in IMAX, so it is wonderful to have that technology now...
The other day I was in a used bookstore and stumbled across a hardcover first edition of 2010. Even though it was pricey for a used book -- $10 -- I bought...
Does this sound more and more like "someone" we know? http://www.technewsworld.com/edpick/66912.html?wlc=1245072364 IBM Supercomputer to Match Critical...
Some years ago I became rather irrationally obsessive about the possibility of nuclear war. I had my fallout room picked out, my alternate bathroom, my canned...
And your question or thesis in this posting is....? You may be posing less of a thought experiment than a daymare that tempts me to have several happy beers...
My apologies for not being more clear - the purpose of my posting was to speculate on how (or if) the human race could rebuild after such a catastrophe, and...
For those of you who do not yet know, NASA now wants to de-orbit the International Space Station in 2016. Personally I think that's absolutely ridiculous, and...
It is not a problem of wanting to deorbit the ISS in 2016, it is simply that this administration has not made any commitment to it past that point--yet. So...
It was forty years ago today that Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin blasted off from Kennedy Space Center on the greatest adventure in human...

Great to have that wav file of the klaxon. Now here's a question I've been meaning to ask for ages. I've been using the following picture as the group home...
Are you sure this is not in the film? I haven't watched 2001 in a while but I recall that this was a brief shot when Poole is prepping to go out to get the...
No, this shot isn't in the film -- I know, the entire film is impressed onto my brain in precise detail -- but I suspect in was in the footage that was deleted...
"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind!" Who else is going to be taping the original CBS broadcast when it airs tonight on the History...
So it's an actual shot from the film, then? It sure looks like one, but again, I've never seen it in the actual film (the entire film is impressed onto my...
I would not think this would be a continuity error. Remember that when the first EVA took place, they had to take an AE-35 unit out of storage, then went EVA,...
Ha! Brilliant! That's my favorite 2001 poster. - Well, except maybe the one with the Discovery orbiting Jupiter with the spacepod in the foreground with...
Last night I watched the new TV movie Moonshot, the latest small-screen dramatization of the historic flight of Apollo 11. I have to say, I liked it. I was...
From: Collin R. Skocik ... My impression is much the same as yours. One thing I seriously questioned, though, was the depiction of Mrs. Armstrong getting to...
The lip synch was done very specifically anytime we were hearing their voices over the radio versus hearing them inside the spacecraft, so there was good rhyme...
