General / Off-Topic Space 2001 article, featuring Elite's Co-Creator

David Braben, developer, Elite (videogame)

In the later versions of Elite, we put in the tribute of having The Blue Danube when you used the docking computer – quite a bleepy version! As a child, I loved hard science-fiction, which is grounded in reality. 2001 was very rich because science wasn’t completely forgotten. Like the scene with Keir Dullea walking on the curved floor – the idea that things rotating produced gravity. And the shuttle in turn rotating to dock with the space station. I liked the way it showed those things in a matter-of-fact way.
 
The Guardian thinks Elite Dangerous is a film. OK...

Everyone interviewed had there picture displayed except David.. ooh Mysterious.


Most of the General movie audience did not understand the 2001 film and still don't. People just say they liked it because its sound good like Blade Runner and Brief history of time
