No, please don't. -- Zoe yes, don't alter anything!
"they must leave Jupiter within seven days" - in the movie it was two days. what about the book? Helix84 04:39, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Actually, the book deadline was 19 days. -- Jason Palpatine 29 June 2005 07:19 (UTC)
No, it's 15 days. I have the book right here. "Good-bye, Doctor Floyd. Remember. Fifteen days." page 208, last page before "Devourer of Worlds". -- InsaneSonikkuFan
The book has it as 15 days; I assumed since it had 7 there, the movie had seven. I will change seven to two. -- InsaneSonikkuFan

[edit] Source of Dr. Chandra's name
Was Dr. Chandra named for Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar? I always assumed that this was the case, but I don't think I've actually read anything to confirm this. -- Cobra libre 15:27, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Iapetus
Just curious, how would Iapetus, and Saturn as well, be effected by the ignition of Jupiter, AKA Lucifer (theoretically, of course)? Here7ic 00:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- Read the article. Both novel and film of 2010 follow the film of 2001 in locating the events at Jupiter, rather than Saturn (as in the 2001 novel).. Dysprosia 00:01, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

- Duely noted. I've done so. As a matter of fact, I'm reading 2061 currently. I was asking what some would speculate the effects of Lucifer would be upon the Saturnarian system. Nothing to do with 2001, although Iapetus was mentioned in my fore inquiry. Here7ic 00:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

- If this hasn't got any bearing on article content, you really shouldn't be discussing this here. If you want a definite answer, try the Reference Desk perhaps. Dysprosia 00:48, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia
In Chapter 13 ("Worlds of Galileo"), about 5 paragraphs from the end, there is the line "Leonov hurtled past the orbits of Io and tiny Mimas" - an odd error, given that Io is a Jovian moon, and Mimas a Saturnian moon. Unless I've got this wrong, maybe it's worth adding as a trivia item? 11:07, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
- My copy says "the orbits of Io and tiny Amalthea", which would be correct. If there was a misprint it's been corrected. 14:04, 12 March 2006 (AEDT)
[edit] Soviet Union
The biggest piece of fiction was that the Soviet Union still existed in 2010. What a genius Clarke is.
