Always thought the idea that an advanced intelligence could create a device that could compress gas giants into stars to terraform distant icy worlds however improbable was pure genius. Great work! This whole project was an cool & original, hats off to you two...

And to think PacMan didn't even get a credit on the film?!?!

Also in the movie, the aerobraking sequence looked like someone coated the heatshield with rubber cement, then lit it on fire. Which is exactly what they did. The movie really doesn't get high marks for anything. Try the book.

Creepy...great composition, but creepy...

Agreed! As it should be. The monoliths - their purpose and product - leave mere humans feeling rather helpless.

OR.... this is what happens when the stellar-powers-that-be decide to "fun-size" Jupiter!

If Clarke was writing today would Bowman have said, "My God, It's full of Higgs Bosons?"

I've watched Futurama six times and every time I catch the same episode!Β It's spooky weird.Β I've watched Southpark about ten times and only seen three episodes.
I know a guy named Jigger Jumonville.Β He's an engineer and invented the Jigger Valve (really), which had to be redesigned...Β rekajiggered.Β

LOL! Yeah, I've got a few shows like that where I keep hitting the same ep. Or as with "Cowboy Bebop", the first ep. I caught was the last! ACK!

I never watched CB, but got the idea it's Stargate meets Titan AE.Β Close?

Eh... not really. Maybe closer to Firefly meets Boba Fett

Yep.Β I watched Episode 1 on youtube.Β Pretty good stuff.Β I like the Good, the Bad and the Ugly spin on one of the fight scenes.

Excellent environment and very realistic. You can feel the excitement in the "Eye of Jupiter " as presented.
Well done!

That is peering into the soul of the Universe, for sure!Β
You are most welcome!

I know I'm fixated on breasts, but in thumbnail and even blown up the picture looks like a breast.

Indeed, "eyeball" is what we aimed for... but I'm happy to facilitate your vision as well!
