Oh, I've got an idea. Pick up the phone and call the ACTUAL space program and just ask if you can hitch a ride on the next anti-gravity vehicle off the planet. You should be able to get there in no time. And that search for life beyond Earth? That's funny. Good one!

All these worlds are yours, except Europa.

sorry, can't condone this one. lol


As Jupiter is about to transform, Bowman returns to Discovery to give HAL a last order to carry out. HAL begins repeatedly broadcasting the message


ALL THESE WORLDS
ARE YOURS EXCEPT
EUROPA
ATTEMPT NO
LANDING THERE

The creation of the new star, which Earth eventually names Lucifer, destroys Discovery. However, in appreciation for HAL's help, Bowman has the aliens which control the monoliths remove HAL's artificial intelligence from Discovery's computer core and transform him into the same kind of life form as David Bowman, and becomes his companion.

Search for life out there whilst destroying the very foundations of life here, that's really sensible thinking.:rolleyes: On a sinking boat while looking at the heavens wondering is there life out there, ummmm, something not quite right here.
