# Well...
Bowman is transported via the monolith to a star system far outside our galaxy. He is brought to what appears to be a nice hotel suite, carefully constructed from monitored television transmissions, to make him feel at ease. Bowman goes to sleep. As he sleeps, his mind and memories are drained from his body. David Bowman is made into a new, immortal entity that can live and travel in space; a Star Child. The Star Child then returns to our Solar System and to Earth.

Or something like that.
