The Discovery's original model was actually scrapped at the end of 2001's production. Kubrick didn't want the film's models co-opted for low-budget productions, so he had them all destroyed. They actually had to rebuild it for 2010, and, if I remember correctly, it's slightly shorter than the original.
>>310746 It's not stripped. The rust color is supposed to be volcanic dust. In 2010, when the Aleksi Leonov encounters the Discovery, it's been abandoned in a slowly degrading orbit above Io.
