File 770 has posted this tribute to Fred Ordway, space scientist, author, and technical consultant on 2001: A Space Odyssey. It includes this photograph:
( Ordway, Slayton, Clarke and Kubrick at Borehamwood )
As the caption at the File 770 post notes, the foreground figures are (L-R) Ordway, astronaut Deke Slayton, Arthur C Clarke, Stanley Kubrick and NASA senior manager George Mueller, during a tour of the 2001 sets at MGM's Borehamwood Studios.
What isn't explained is why Ordway appears to be dressed in cricket whites.
Indeed, from Slayton's expression, I think he might have been about to ask.
