USA badge seen in Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey film.
The United States of America is a prominant faction in Arthur C. Clarke’s Space Odyssey series.
2001: A Space Odyssey
The United States faction operated its space programs under the USAA, United States Astronautics Agency into 2001. One of its major feats was the construction of the Clavius Base on Earth's moon, which had gone into full operation by 1994. It was under this agency that the discovery of a potential alien presence was made at Tycho crater—the TMA-1 monolith, in 1999.
2010 odyssey
After the loss of Discovery, the United States faction consolidated its space program by absorbing the USAA into the NCA, National Council of Astronautics. It’s likely that the NCA began to take shape around 2006, after the TMA-1 was brought back to Earth and installed in front of the United Nations Building in New York City.[note 1] The council was in full opertaion by 2010, involved in a notable program to Jupiter that worked toward a joint Soviet/American mission.
3001: The Final Odyssey
In 3001, the United States faction operates in a designated area of the enormous Earth Station.
Notes
- ↑ The installtion of the TMA-1 in front of the United Nations Building in NY, was revealed in Arthur C. Clarke’s 3001: The Final Odyssey
