2010 isn't so much the year we make contact as the year the Space Odyssey story continues. After the USS Discovery spaceship was lost near Jupiter with its computer malfunctioned and its crew missing or dead, a joint US-USSR mission is sent out to discover what happened. Their only clue is the last transmission of the astronaut David Bowman - "My God, it's full of stars!"

A race against time and a rival Chinese crew adds to the tension. Can HAL be reactivated and bring the ship home? What did happen to the two man crew of the Discovery all those years ago and what has become of hero David Bowman? All these questions ...
