1968- "2001" – astronaut David Bowman, a photo by
x-ray delta one on Flickr.
As you probably know, in the book version of 2001: A Space Odyssey, David Bowman's final words recorded by mission control are: "My God, it's full of stars!". (This excellent line didn't make it into the movie, but it did make it into the sequel, 2010: The Year We Make Contact".) What you don't know is that David Bowman had some time to think about his final message, and he had a few early drafts:
By Thor's Hammer, it's replete with twinkly lights.
Holy shit, I could have had a V-8!
On the whole I'd rather be in Philadelphia.
O Vishnu's titties, I am become … aaahhh.
I have a bad feeling about this.
I love you Charlie!
Mission Control? I'm shitting Twinkies.
As always, feel free to add any other final lines in the comments.
My god,
Alltop is full of funny.
