... at the inter-lunar hub (remember the dart-shaped rocket getting ready to pas-de-deux with the space station?), did you ever think that twenty years later (well, 2021-2001, right?), you'd come in from barrowing compost around the yard and stop watching out of boredom waiting for the hatch to open?
Just askin' ...

IMHO, the truth is more beautiful than fiction.

Agreed.
I think that the fiction provided us with a very good gap-filler while we waited.
The Clarke/Kubrick pair scored pretty well, some of their failed predictions notwithstanding.
I was struck by the similarity (equal quality?) of the images, but on reflection (nice one Chris!) it's pretty easy to make jet-black look like jet-black, right?
Cheers
