As guest DJ, I had the opportunity to join Robert Emmett's radio soundtrack show on The Norman Bates Memorial soundtrack Show on KFJC 89.7fm on May 8, 2010. Our special guest was Science fiction writer and Ufologist, Dr. Kevin D. Randle. We talked about how the Ufology phenomena had impacted popular culture through movies and television from the mid-1980s to the 1990s. This was my last Robert Emmett appearance on KFJC.

Set Pieces: The look of 'Tron: Legacy'
he designers don't say they're fans of 2001, but this set is a descendant of Bowman's "cage." Lighted floors, French furniture, including glass dining table. Except for being built in a "cave" in a digital mountain, it could be a house in 2001...

The soundtrack to Earth II (poor man's 2001) is available from Film Score Monthly. It's part of a five-disc set (with music from other TV shows/movies) making it a bit steep in price, but it'll be worth it:

Warner archives has released 1975's Strange New World with John Saxon:
I always remembered the opening sequence as being heavily influenced by 2001. This included scenes of the Earth/sun, moon dropping away from the earth, PAX space station much like Space Station Five, suspended animation chambers, shuttle like Orion (and looking like the many NASA Space Shuttle concepts from that time. It's a detail-lacking model much like a wind tunnel model). Even the Vesta rover looks like the Moonbus on wheels (and steroids)!
Dana found this neat modular hotel in London. It's modern design could fit in 2001's universe, and could even be the design of the Orbital Hilton rooms in 2001: http://www.yotel.com
Space shuttle Atlantis is carrying the Raffaello multipurpose logistics module to deliver supplies, logistics and spare parts to the International Space Station. The mission also is flying a system to investigate the potential for robotically refueling existing spacecraft and returning a failed ammonia pump module to help NASA better understand the failure mechanism and improve pump designs for future systems. :

Apollo 18 is a found footage-style film set in December 1974, about a post-Apollo 17 mission to the Moon that takes on a premise of why NASA discontinued the Apollo moon missions.
