[FPSPACE] Happy New Year! 21st Century! 3rd Millenium!

[Larry Klaes]

Sadly, 2010: The Year We Made Contact (made in 1984),
dated itself badly when it had the US and USSR at the
brink of World War III in 2010 (to say nothing of 
manned spacecraft to Jupiter).  

Fortunately the Monolith ETI decided to turn Jupiter into
a sun so that the primitive life forms on Europa could 
have a chance to evolve.  The second sun in the sky made
all the politicians wake up, change their ways, and work
together in peace.

Okay, now that's going too far.
