Message to earth, transmitted by Hal:

"ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS EXCEPT EUROPA. ATTEMPT NO LANDINGS THERE."

If you're making a 2001 reference, that was Europa.

All these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landings there.

A massive dust plume, estimated to be 150m

I think they meant km. 150 meters is no big deal.

2010. :')

looks like a correction has been posted:

A massive dust plume, estimated to be 150 miles (240km) high, can be seen erupting from Io's Tvashtar volcano.

Io,Io, so off to work I go....

[Shimmer128]

Europa, of course, I'd forgotten.

[Doohickey]

Ouch. You're right, of course. It's been several years since I've read them, or any Arthur C. Clarke for that matter.
