Mystery in Queens

Can you help solve a puzzle?

WSH Leonov & Io 118

What is this spaceship?

I'm pretty sure this is the same model, in a different museum, before it settled at AMMI.

Isn't criticism of science in a Peter Hyams movie almost as easy as with anything that ever squirmed out of Irwin Allen's brain?

Well, I was more criticizing Clarke's novel, which I seem to recall was almost as cavalier--and it bothers me, because as [livejournal.com profile] beamjockey said, he ought to have known better. It's a pretty solid novel for the most part, one of his last really good ones and maybe the best book in the 2001 series.

Ah... My apologies for the misunderstanding.
