2001: A Space Odyssey - 50 years old

Post by Cody »

Fifty years since 2001: A Space Odyssey was released - doesn't time fly!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Star Wars creator Lucas described 2001 as "the first time people really took science-fiction seriously".
El Reg has an article about 2001.



Planet of the Apes was released the same year - no contest!
