	2001: A Space Odyssey (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Distinctively, Space Odyssey is concerned about not only the evolution that has led to the development of humanity, but also the evolution that humanity might undergo in the future.
		The novel acknowledges that evolutionary theory entails that humanity is not the end, but only a step in the process.
		Floyd's journey to Space Station One is depicted with awareness of fine points such as the experience of a Space Shuttle launch, the adhesive sauces used to keep food firmly in place on one's plate, and even the zero gravity toilet.

	2001: A Space Odyssey (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many of the film's space scenes were given a new sense of depth and intrigue, due to the use of a classical score for the film's soundtrack.
		Space is accurately depicted as a truly silent vacuum, but Technological Man fills this world with the sound of circulating air systems, humming computers and hissing doors.
		Since the pod is not fixed to Discovery, the blowing of the pod's hatch should have caused the pod to move away on the thrust of its escaping atmosphere—though rather slowly, given a rough estimation of the mass and speed of ejected air (and Bowman) in relation to the mass of the pod.

	Novel Radiator for a Space Suit
		The improved radiator will benefit not only the space industry but also those terrestrial industries in which water is used to transport heat into radiators or external heat exchangers in order to thermally control equipment and/or living spaces in very cold climates.
		One novel aspect of this radiator is that the tubes within it accommodate, and are not damaged by, the expansion of water or other cooling fluid upon freezing.
		Another, related novel aspect is that selective freezing in the tubes is utilized to control the rejection of heat: At low thermal load, water or other cooling fluid flows in only one tube and the fluid in all the other tubes is frozen.

	Novel page
		To some degree, this focus on the novel reflects a general shift of attention within literary studies away from poetry towards narrative, but we can further attribute the novel's predominance in postcolonial studies to three factors: the representational nature of the novel, its heteroglossic structure, and the function of the chronotope in the novel.
		The representational power of the novel, its ability to give voice to a people in the assertion of their identity and their history, is of primary importance to postcolonial writers and scholars.
		Studies of the novel as chronotope, another term coined by Bakhtin, have perhaps not been as important in the field as those focusing on issues of representation, identity, and heteroglossia, but it is an issue of large importance, especially in the work of more postmodern novelists like Salman Rushdie and critics like Homi Bhabha.

	Alastair Reynolds: Revelation Space - an infinity plus review
		The novel revolves around three viewpoint characters, their stories at first apparently unconnected but rapidly drawing together into a final headlong voyage of discovery.
		Revelation Space is strong where Reynolds' scientific background -- by day he's an astrophysicist with the European Space Agency -- bursts through in the novel's sweeping speculation, the breathtaking construction of his fictional stage and the awesome artefacts that form the pivots of the hard-science-fictional plot.
		The rest -- the characterisation, the atmosphere, the prose style, all the other elements of fictional glue that hold a novel together -- tend towards transparency: competent, but neither eyecatching for their strength nor their weakness, leaving a novel that is stunning in many respects and merely good in most others.

	Amazon.com: 2001 - A Space Odyssey: Books: Arthur C. Clarke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Odyssey is an oddity: it is a novel based on a screenplay by Clarke and Kubrick that itself was based on a Clarke short story.
		He is, perhaps, the most fascinating character in the novel - excluding the unknown alien species, of course - owing not in part to Clarke's rather sympathetic portrayal of his murderous tendencies.
		One of the greatest strengths of this novel is its readability.

	CNN.com - Source of oldest, rarest meteorite found - August 24, 2001
		A 250-ton space boulder left this smoky trail over British Columbia in January 2000.
		But Hiroi and colleagues at Brown and NASA analyzed their chemical fingerprint and determined that the meteorite came from a particular class of space boulders, the oldest known, in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
		Few of the D-type asteroids reside in areas where space rocks collide and produce fragments that might drift to Earth.

	Space1999.org - Homage to the "Space: 1999" science fiction series (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		That was the message I tried to get across: that Space: 1999 was its own thing; and that in relation to Star Trek, which was the yardstick by which to measure science fiction series in the mid-1990s, it succeeded admirably.
		At some point, I believe there will be a novel that explains precisely what happened to Jackie Crawford, but I felt that it shouldn't overshadow the main story of "The Forsaken", and that it was best for me to leave that story to another writer.
		The book had a clear overture (the space brain sequence) and a clear coda (with Victor and Koenig reflecting on the adventure and looking ahead) so the rest was just natural.

	This Space: The novel is Incendiary
		Mike Brett ends his review by saying the sensationalism of the novel "rather than bringing home the horror of such an attack [shatters] the frail illusion of reality which is essential to the novel’s integrity.
		Perhaps the horror is precisely what the unsayable of art says: that we rely on such events and such novels in order to live as we imagine life should be.
		After all this blog is named This Space, after the holes that can be found in most of his arguements that he cane never be bothered to redefine.

	Von Braun
		The novel was reportedly awful and has never surfaced.
		Von Braun himself, in the preface to his 1948 novel appendix, published in the US as 'The Mars Project' in 1962, compared the performance of his 1948 design with the pending Saturn V. But detailed examination of the designs show this was all simply a misconception.
		The space shuttle, for example, experiences actual maximum external temperatures of 1800-1250 deg K, lands just 5450 km down-range from an altitude of 80 km, and pulls a maximum of 2 G's during re-entry.

	Amazon.com: Gentlemen of Space: A Novel: Books: Ira Sher (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Sher's whimsical, elegiac debut novel is about a boy whose father is chosen, in the summer of 1976, to be the first civilian on the moon.
		The novel captures the lost innocence of a previous era, where America held wide-eyed wonder at man's accomplishments, yet it also foretells the squander of the crass and shallow emotionalism and misguided intentions of today's frenzied media exploitations.
		The novel is not for everyone: I would definitely classify it as "post-modern", for the ending is anything but tidy, but that is, perhaps, exactly what the author intended.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.10.01
		After adducing the influence of historiography upon the novel, as well as the rough connections between its plot and the actual history of Syracuse, Connors traces links between Augustus and Syracuse on one hand and Chariton and the imperial family on the other to suggest some cryptic allusions in the novel to the Roman rulers.
		By examining roads as an important element of space in Apuleius' novel, Maaike Zimmerman attempts to show in her paper ("On the Road in Apuleius Metamorphoses") how the observations of the narrator about the roads he has to travel along are meaningful when related to the emotional states of the protagonist.
		In "Space and Displacement in Apuleius", Niall W. Slater seeks to discern a pattern of persistent displacement in the Golden Ass, illustrating how Aristomenes and Socrates are both displaced by their adventures, as Thelyphron in book II.

	Novel View Synthesis in Tensor Space - Avidan, Shashua (ResearchIndex) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Abstract: This paper presents a new method for synthesizing novel views of a 3D scene from two reference images and a tensor.
		No use of a 3D model of the scene is made, nor any use of camera geometry (relative locations of the cameras) of the two views is required --- only the computation of the tensor.
		The novel views are modeled by specifying rotation and translation of the virtual camera starting from one of the reference views --- which is an ideal "driving" mode for generating a synthetic movie.

		This sea of energy is different from the cosmic microwave background and is also referred to as the electromagnetic quantum vacuum, since it is the lowest state of otherwise empty space.
		A craft dubbed the "Space Tourist" would be capable of non-stop space excursions, carrying over a thousand people on each 8-hour flight.

	Amazon.co.uk: 2001: A Space Odyssey: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The novel does not feel coherent, in particular the relationships between Hal and his human 'colleagues' fail to ignite sympathy.
		Clarke, in his introduction, explains how some of his novel was amended as filming took place and it enforces the feeling that this is a novel based on a film, rather than the film being based on a classic novel.
		In the end, the novel is just much more compelling than the film, and for that reason I would recommend watching the movie before reading the book.

		Its accelerator may be the Sun, or a laser located on a deep space 'relay station' [Bishop, 1997b].
		The nominal length of the "accelerator" is the distance between the deployment of the sails and their impact against the spacecraftís pusher plate.
		In the course of researching this article, it was discovered that a proposal similar to this, for a macroscopic spherical solar sail, has already been made, as is often the case for inventors [web ref].
