The author is confusing Clarke w/Kubrick. Clarke wrote a short story or was a it a novella, and Kubrick took it from there and produced the ‘epic’ 2001.
I understand the writer's point. In the 1930’s we built the Hoover Dam..do you think we could, or be allowed to even attempt such an endeavor today?

n the 1930’s we built the Hoover Dam..do you think we could, Yes. Three Gorges Dam.
or be allowed to even attempt such an endeavor today?
In the US? Are there any suitable sites left? If there are (I think the answer is "no"), though, the greenies would have a fit. And I'd be majorly annoyed too. We should be building nukes, not dams.
