Maybe it runs in the family. I'm sure YayGollum made that argument several times here, over the years. :)
 
Penny drops (maybe).
You've read Arthur C. Clarke's fourth and last book of the Odyssey quadrilogy, "3001 - The Final Odyssey", EA? 🤓
Nope lol only the first two 😁
OK, only so much:
Frank Poole, the other astronaut from "2001", the one who got bonked by the rogue pod controlled by HAL, is found out beyond the orbit of Neptune by a space tug (they "gift-wrap" comets and give them a nudge sunwards; they arrive either at Mercury or Venus to do "terraforming" about 50 years later ...), brought back to earth - well actually just off it - and revived - in the year 3001. Clarke has some interesting ideas what things would be like 981 years in the future. 🤔
 
Looks like a good occasion to have a spray-can of mace handy!
