2010.... darn good sci-fi movie, especially for the early 1980s. Highly recommend the books and the movie. (Sequels to 2001: A Space Odyssey)

Wow, that is astonishing. I thought all galaxies were about the same size as stars.

Wow! I wonder how many solar systems are in it with a planet like Earth.
