  1. Michael Benson _ Space Odyssey: Stanley

    Throughout, Kubrick and Clarke remained locked in dialogue. One strategy they'd agreed on in advance was that their story's metaphysical and even mystical elements had to be earned through absolute scientific-technical realism. 2001's space shuttles, orbiting stations, lunar bases, and Jupiter missions were thoroughly grounded in actual research and rigorously informed extrapolation, much of it provided by leading American companies then also busy providing technologies and expertise to the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA.
