Just wanted you to know...

Arthur C. Clark inspired generations as an engineer, writer, screenwriter, and visionary.

The scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey where the proto-human throws a bone-tool into the sky in triumph and it morphs into an orbiting space station captures the essence of humanity's accomplishments and inspiration.

The impact of his contribution to mankind is beyond measure.

[Here is a link to the final 24 minute sequence of 2001: A Space Odyssey set to Pink Floyd's Echoes. It is rumored that this was the score originally set for the final sequence, but that Pink Floyd decided not to be associated with the movie. Reportedly, not having Pink Floyd's score in 2001 was Roger Waters's biggest regret.] http://video.aol.com/video-detail/pink-flo...scene/823783537

Arthur C. Clarke once said, "If you understand 2001 completely, we failed. We wanted to raise far more questions than we answered." (source: IMDb)

Note: I just got a high speed line and so could watch this video.

If you are a fan of pink floyd and 2001, this is a must see video. Go to a quiet dark place, turn off the lights and fire this thing up!
It's amazing the sensibilities of the two works mesh perfectly and it held my interest more than the original movie ending.
that was a wonderous era.
