BTW I own a 12 inch mirror you made about almost 20 years ago. Its probably the best mirror I've ever used. I've used it many times to image Jupiter and I often think of Discovery in orbit around it.

Yes if you blurred your eyes slightly you could imagine Keir Dullea just having walked off the set. He was very theatrical ( having worked for the Royal Shakespeare Company for many years ) and very entertaining. Gary Lockwood had not looked after himself so much and was not so recognizable. He related the story that an altercation he had with Kubrick resulted in an invite to input the story on the fly and that calling Hal to `rotate the pod ' when they were testing to see he could not hear them was his bit of ad lib to the story ! He apparently was a cast member of Star Trek, and seemed a little dissapointed there were no Trekkies in the audience.
Re your mirror ,great news, yes , wasn't it John Keats who said ' a mirror of beauty is a joy forever ' :-)
