2001: A Space Podyssey

• Episode 61 - HAL Resurrection, Act I: The Mystery of Pod G

  In anticipation of Dr. Chandra reactivating everyone's favorite psychotic processing unit, we're reevaluating the story so far. Since we last saw HAL, we've read more Clarke, researched more on '2001' and '2010,' talked to more guests, and, of course, we've gotten to know SAL. What we've learned has dramatically changed our perspective on his intentions onboard Discovery, his circumstances with Dave & Frank, and his eventual destiny. We compare HAL's personality and key motivations between the script and the final film. And we're left scratching our heads at the three card monte that is the Discovery pod bay. But fear not: the "Making of '2001'" XL Taschen book has arrived! And with it new clues! The Mystery of the Blue Suit thickens, but the Mystery of the Color-Changing Helmet may be solved! Follow along with the pictures and have a look. What do you think? (Join Patreon to catch up.)

• Episode 60 - Zip Line to DISCOVERY (2010: The Year We Make Content)

  We're trying to keep it together on the solar system's most extreme theme park ride: the spaceship-coupling triangle Zip Line! As we get set to board DISCOVERY, we're looking into LEONOV's mission directive and the humanitarian cooperation between Russian and American crews. Bak on Earth, Victor Milson faces a dilemma, how to navigate the NCA around a hostile political landscape in order to advance science. The beauty of synchronized spinning spacecraft and the possible reasons why it's maintaining that velocity. Have you checked the orbit lately? And we say "Dasvidaniya" to LEONOV for now and take the plunge. Ooof... Best ride this ride on an empty stomach. Plus: the side effects of nuclear pulse propulsion, better pillows on C-Deck, and "Blue Suit Riot."
