Pretty much once you go past earth, just about everything is an ice planet,
so it's a case of been there, done that.  :-)

The last movie I watched for 2001 was a deliberate choice: 2001 A Space
Odessey.  I remember my dad taking me to see that when it was at it's
exclusive run at the Warner's in Hollywood (Cinerama screen, of course).  It
was a future that seemed so far away at the time and now it's the past!  All
in all, the technology Kubrick envisioned held up pretty well (homicidal
computers aside).

(...) Not to nit-pick, Bruce, but I think you mean "...the technology A. C. Clarke envisioned held up pretty well." A whole lot of what Clarke wrote has held up very well. Jeff J (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.year.2002)
