Marathon and 2001: A Space Odyssey

I don't know how many of you know this, or if it's ever been mentioned here before (I never bothered to, so maybe no one else has, either), but a major story element of 2001 takes place around the crater Tycho, on earth's moon.

TMA-1, anyone?

Can you say "Monoblock"?

Obviously, "Tycho" is a name from long before Kubrick and Clarke did "2001," but I wonder if the Bungie guys first became aware of "Tycho" via the major storypiece of the "2001" reference.
