2001: A Space Odyssey - spaceport docking scene

submitted by Deano

1 decade 7 years 4 months 2 weeks ago

Duration 4 minutes 16 seconds.

Classic scene where a scientist is transported via a Pan Am flight to an orbiting space station. The use of The Blue Danube to accompany the outstanding special effects works superbly.

One of the great moments in film history!

the actually accomplished the floating pen by sticking it to a piece of glass. If you look closely you can see the stewardess pulling it off.
