Greetings from Dennis Gonzales
33 years later.

The Art of The Yellow Submarine San Mateo Exhibit is rolling along well. I have 4 local businesses sponsoring the event as well as some local collectors loaning out their new and old collectibles. I am also planning to interview Bob Hieronimus & Co., Inc. Bob is coming out with "Making of The Yellow Submarine." The exhibit begins November 10 to 30, 2001.
Two big news reports from NASA:
As you all know by now, NASA Administrator, Daniel S. Goldin will retire from the agency after ten years. He was across the street from my work area Monday giving us his pep talk about working out of the box, pushing the boundaries of innovation for the 21st Century. This was mainly directed to the young people in the audience who will lead Ames Research Center. If you like to read his official speech about his retirement, download the PDF file at http://www.nasa.gov/bios/goldin_speeches.html. The second big news is the 2001 Mars Odyssey Mission directed by JPL is in orbit. Mars Odyssey will gradually edge closer to Mars over the next 76 days, using the friction of the atmosphere to lower until it reaches a two-hour science orbits and begin the first phase of the project for exploration of the planet. No monoliths have been reported as of yet but stay tune. Visit http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/
The Gallery category in the arts section has been updated with a new feature called "2001 Artwork". This feature in Gallery 5 is the about the type of work that is influenced from "2001: A Space Odyssey." From books to television shows. http://www.2001exhibit.org/arts/2001artwork.html
The USA exhibits category has been expanded to feature new "2001" exhibits, San Jose's Tech Museum of Innovation's "2001:Destination Space" exhibit and Larry Evans "2001: Odyssey to the Future" event at Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana, California. Keep checking the exhibits section or announcements on this newsletter for updates. http://www.2001exhibit.org/exhibits/usa.html
Larry Evens Report to us about "2001: Odyssey to the Future" event:
The Orange County Space Society held their event: 2001: Odyssey to the Future, on Thursday, October 18, at the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana, California. This is the third time this year that DSC has hosted this popular event. An expected attendance of 400 to 500 people actually ballooned to 800 for the three-hour event.
The display consisted of many artifacts, models, posters, photographs, and other paraphernalia from 2001: A Space Odyssey. The highlight of the display was an original red spacesuit helmet and Keir Dullea's flightsuit that were brought in by Dennis Gilliam. Other items included large models of the Orion III, Aries 1-B, and the Moonbus. A display wall was also set up that included special display boards created for the event. One of these includes a timeline of the events that occurred in the movie (this timeline is based on the original movie only and does not reflect the inconsistencies of the sequels).
The Laser Theater at Discovery Science Center was used to present the hour long program on 2001 that talked about how the movie was made, why it has endured, and how it relates to the real space program (this program is available for others who might be interested in seeing it). We got many great comments both about the program and the display.
