:55:02
Their efforts won 't be utilized
until we approach Jupiter.
:55:06
Dr. Poole, what's it like
while you're in hibernation?
:55:10
lt's exactly like being asleep.
You have no sense of time.
:55:14
The only difference is
that you don 't dream.
:55:16
As l understand it, you only breathe
once a minute. ls this true?
:55:21
Right, and the heart
beats three times a minute.
:55:23
Body temperature is usually down to
about three degrees centigrade.
:55:27
The sixth member of the crew
was not concerned...
:55:31
...about the problems of hibernation...
:55:33
...for he was the latest result
in machine intelligence:
:55:36
The HAL 9000 computer,
which can reproduce...
:55:41
... though some experts prefer
to use the word ''mimic''...
:55:44
...most of the activities
of the human brain...
:55:46
...and with incalculably greater
speed and reliability.
:55:50
We next spoke with
the HAL 9000 computer...
:55:54
... whom, we learned,
one addresses as ''Hal. ''
:55:58
Hello, Hal.
How's everything going?
:56:00
Good afternoon, Mr. Amer.
Everything is going extremely well.
:56:04
Hal, you have an enormous
responsibility on this mission...
:56:07
...perhaps the greatest
of any single mission element.
:56:11
You're the brain and
nervous system of the ship.
:56:14
Your responsibilities include
watching over the men in hibernation.
:56:18
Does this ever cause you
any lack of confidence?
:56:21
Let me put it this way, Mr. Amer.
:56:24
The 9000 Series is
the most reliable computer ever made.
:56:29
No 9000 computer has ever made
a mistake or distorted information.
:56:34
We are all, by any practical
definition of the words...
:56:37
...foolproof and incapable of error.
:56:41
Hal, despite your enormous intellect,
are you ever frustrated...
:56:44
...by your dependence on people
to carry out actions?
:56:48
Not in the slightest bit.
:56:50
l enjoy working with people.
:56:52
l have a stimulating relationship
with Dr. Poole and Dr. Bowman.
:56:57
My mission responsibilities range
over the entire operation of the ship...
