In what city?? I saw it in Hollywood. The Cinerama dome had not yet been built, in
H'wood.

It is also the start of the post-DS9 book series. I am so much looking
forward to it!

I don`t share your optimism but I am at least hoping that the 10th movie
will be better than "Insurrection" and the fifth ST TV series will be
better than Voyager.

It's too sad to release.....I almost hope they don't. It's a poignant
reminder of where we could be, but aren't.

We can't even go to the moon now, because we've lost the technology -- let
it all lapse. If we started today, it would take almost as long to
re-develop the infrastructure and build the vehicle as the first moon
mission took.

But we've got great social programs.

I worked in the manned spaceflight business for 15 years. You are completely
correct in your statement about having to rebuild the infrastructure.
For this we can thank :
Mr. Nixon
Mr. Ford
Mr. Carter
Mr. Reagan
Mr. Bush
Mr. Clinton
and every other politician, be it Republican or Democrat, who voted against
space research.

Perhaps humanity, through social and economic problems, has lost it's will
to explore; the drive that sent ancient mariners out into uncharted waters
in search of then mythological new continents has been driven out of people.
But especially out of the nation leaders, who spend more time tying to save
their political careers than driving mankind forward. Sometimes I am sure I
can here Columbus turning in his grave because of our very introspective
outlook on the universe.

2001: A Space Odyssey is a great film - one of my all time favourites. If it
is to get remastered, I hope the urge to add little "refinements" (a la Star
Wars...) is strongly resisted. In my opinion, as humble as it it, 2001
stands not so much as a pointer to what we have *not* acheived, but as a
tribute to the optimism of a generation who really though we would be living
on Mars by the year 2000. And the hope inspired on millions (billions?) of
people who watched in awe as Neil Armstrong stepped out onto the moon,
having gotten there using less computing power than is in some of todays
pocket calculators.

The even numbered movies are always good , so that is good. The fifth serie
is a big question mark. I hope it is not a teenager-show , like Voyager. I'm
34 , so especially DS9 was my favorite star-trek-serie. (from season 4
anyway)

The REASON computers have the power they have today is that the onboard computer
on Apollo 11 could not handle the situation, and Armstrong had to take over and
PILOT the ship down to a safe landing. It was a close thing. 30 seconds more,
and they would have had to abort the landing. That's when the effort started to
make core smaller. In '69, 256K core was HUGE.

It's too bad that private concerns don't want to pick up the
government's slack on that one. I'd like to retire to the moon fer
crying out loud. It'd be good for my then-aged system to live in 1/6
gravity.

I expect to be waiting three or four more years to actually see
aforementioned atrocities, thanks to the way the BBC treat science fiction.

The only thing the BBC has going for it is the lack of commercial breaks.

Look on the bright side. You have that much longer to work up
a resistance.

It was 107 with Heat Index a couple of years ago. This seems
a relatively cool summer this year.

Au Contraire, Mon Ami. Perhaps in the East, 'tis cool. On June 16, San
Francisco had a 103 day. (Same day, my house, 108). Now, that is a bit warm for
June, but common in July/August, and even into September, with 90+ sometimes
occurring in October. But, one adjusts, and has cooling devices for those with
problems. By the way, just to tell you that it can be done (for Evilbill),
California has around 29 million inhabitants, most of them who live in these
temps. I have been in Los Angeles (2d largest city in the US) when it was 111.
Humidity was at 7%. Really not too bad. I was wearing a suit and vest at the
time, and survived quite nicely.

I know you believe that, but remember, this country was established and
settled by people from Britain. Unless you have Ectodermal Dysplasia or the
like, you would survive. Perhaps not in comfort, for a while, but you would
survive.
