Kurt Vonnegut and 2001

I came across this in an essay Kurt Vonnegut wrote about the Space Program back in the late 60's.



















"I remember the apes in the great Cinerama motion picture 2001. I remember their bloodshot eyes and their fears at night, how they learned to use tools to smash in each other's skulls. And I suppose we're not much past that on the scale of evolution, even though we now have the Cinerama."
