I think they meant to prevent a sequel with their models. And while the sequel was more or less not good and did come out, it doesn't look like it was created by the same team who did 2001. The designs in 2010 were done by Syd Mead and have a sort (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.space)
