You should get the book out or buy it sometime Steven. Arthur C Clarke's story is great. Kubrick may have been artistically brialliant but the last 15mins of the movie do little to portray Clarke's vision.

Spoiler: Basically the suggestion is Dave Bowman moves on to a higher form of existence and is born as a "star baby". He doesn't actually know what to do next other than hang around looking at earth "but he'll think of something"......
