I *love* all of his work. And then when they used that line to close out Stanley Kubrick's movie "2001: A Space Odyssey" It became totally immortalized.

HAL 9000: "I'm sorry Dave. I just can't do that"

Wow!

I recall Phobos, one of the moons of Mars, is the one that has a Monolith. Would love to see a close up of that one. Certainly makes me wonder what Arthur C Clarke knew and when did he learn it?

OK, now you've done it.

Time for a re-watch!

Miserably cold & gloomy weather here in NY today anyway.

Time to pour myself a small bourbon and fire up Netflix and my rarely used but always large and looming, TV.

Thanks!

I think there are some relatively new and very interesting looking pictures out there. I'll check in a little bit...

Strangely, Clarke, the author of MY favorite book, Childhood's End, is on record for saying that he didn't believe in (alien) UFOs. I never believed that for a second.

As for your comment about Phobos, it was/is the key to understanding that an early Martian civilization captured both moons and placed them into position. The so-called "grooves" of Phobos are exact evidence of that venture. I can prove it by Viking images which are far different than the typical ones you are allowed to see.

Sounds like a plan.

I think ile pour a Mojito and do just that.

Just finished watching "The Gentlemen" on Netflix was not have bad, if your looking for a season of something new.

It was "2010 The Year We Make Contact" (sequel) that presented the quote from the OP title.

Know what does not translate well about 2001.

The apes, spoiled really I suppose given the CGI from the likes of modern "Planet of The Apes" movies.

And it was 1968.

........goes back to his Mojito(stop griping about shi@e andy).

I am open to that. The moon of Saturn I think it is, Iapetus has some similarities to Phobos I recall. Both have a bit of a "Star wars Death Star" feel if I am thinking about this right?

If Phobos is an artificially placed habitat and its basic, impossible physics makes the case, then so could be about any other small object in orbit around any planet (that includes our Moon).

I'll bet by now we know the basic compositions of many of the small moons in our system and whether they are compositionally compatible or not with their host planet. Phobos and Deimos give evidence of beeing from Jupiter's asteroid belt, not from the leftovers of Mars.

Well, if you believe God put us here. Everything else will be put here. Important note here, we have to understand that Angels that are here (fallen or not) are "aliens" to planet Earth. Aliens did it makes sense to all sides in the debate if we agree Angels are aliens.

" Aliens did it makes sense to all sides in the debate if we agree Angels are aliens."

There should be no doubt in any minds that want to work history with reality.

I preferred the Mad Magazine send-up, "The Planet that went Ape"

Cheers

Please do prove it then, I am waiting with eager anticipation.

"Childhood's End" is a terrific book. One of my favorites. I also like "Rendezvous with Rama"

Can you post those Viking images?

I'd love to see them.

Thanks.

I did thoroughly enjoy that tidbit of inspiration. Thanks for posting it.
