Quotes from... "2010: The Year We Make Contact" (1984)CAPTAIN'S LOG: " ...This is finally it. After 9 years and hundreds of millions of miles, we are about to come face to face with the Monolith. The last human being who did that disappeared (and was never seen or heard from again.) Something truly amazing is going on out here, and I really believe this black giant is controlling it all. We have so much to ask. I have a feeling that the answers are bigger than the questions."

Curnow:He's building "Discovery Two" right now. He knows more about the original than anyone. He's the only one that can start Discovery in a short time.

Chandra: " Here is the name for it... "PHOENIX"... Do you know what this means?" SAL 9000: " A fabulous bird, reborn from the ashes of it's earlier life." |

CAPTAIN'S LOG: " The time has come to put ourselves in an orbit around Io, which is where the Discovery is. And we don't have enough fuel to slow ourselves down, so, we about about to use a technique called Aero-Braking...
The theory is that... We will enter the outer layer of Jupiter's atmosphere... using what is called a ballute for a shield ...The atmosphere will slow us down......and Jupiter's gravity will grab hold of us, and slingshot us around behind the dark side. If all goes well, we'll wind up in a gentle orbit around Io...
It's dynamite on paper... of course, the people who came up with the numbers on the paper aren't here. Since no one has ever done this before, everyone here is as scared as I am. The difference is they're busy. I have nothing to do but wait for it to happen. And I hope this is all worth it." |

Something incredible is happening up there. Discovery's being pulled towards Io. Or pushed away from Jupiter.  |

Floyd: " Look at the middle of Discovery. The middle, not the ends. Look at the part where it's moving the least. Don't take your eyes off it." Curnow: " I'm gonna throw up. I'm an engineer, goddamn it!" |

My response is, we don't have enough fuel for an earlier departure.  The answer is, "I am aware of these facts. Nevertheless you must leave within two days.  |
