Abstract
On 21 July 2011, forty-two years and one day after the Apollo 11 Moon landing, NASA's space shuttle program" a program that had spanned three decades" concluded with the final return trip of Atlantis from the International Space Station (ISS). It felt like the end of an era" and it was. My son had just turned twelve, and it seemed the right time to show him 2001: A Space Odyssey, a film I've loved since I was a child. What does Kubrick's masterpiece say to us at the end of the first" and possibly final" age of space exploration?
