1:00:00
...this is the first time that men have been
put into hibernation before departure,
1:00:05
Why was this done?
1:00:06
Well, this was done in order to achieve
the maximum conservation...
1:00:10
...of our life-support capabilities,
basically food and air,
1:00:14
Now, the three hibernating crew members
represent the survey team,
1:00:18
And their efforts won 't be utilized
until we are approaching Jupiter,
1:00:22
Dr, Poole, what's it like
while you are in hibernation?
1:00:26
It's exactly like being asleep;
you have absolutely no sense of time,
1:00:30
The only difference is you don 't dream,
1:00:33
As I understand it,
you only breathe once a minute,
1:00:36
Is this true?
1:00:37
That's right,
1:00:38
And your heart beats three times a minute,
body temperature is usually down...
1:00:42
...to about three degrees centigrade,
1:00:44
The sixth member of the Discovery crew
was not concerned...
1:00:48
...about the problems of hibernation,
1:00:50
For he was the latest result
in machine intelligence,
1:00:54
The HAL-9000 computer
which can reproduce...
1:00:58
...though some experts still prefer
to use the word "mimic "...
1:01:02
...most of the activities of the human brain
and with incalculably greater speed...
1:01:06
...and reliability,
1:01:08
We next spoke
with the HAL-9000 computer...
1:01:12
... whom, we learned, one addresses as Hal,
1:01:16
Good afternoon, Hal,
How's everything going?
1:01:18
Good afternoon, Mr, Amer,
Everything's going extremely well,
1:01:22
Hal, you have an enormous responsibility
on this mission,
1:01:25
In many ways,
perhaps the greatest responsibility...
1:01:28
...of any single mission element,
1:01:30
You are the brain
and central nervous system of the ship,
1:01:33
Your responsibilities include
watching over the men in hibernation,
1:01:37
Does this ever cause you
any lack of confidence?
1:01:40
Let me put it this way, Mr, Amer,
1:01:43
The 9000 Series is
the most reliable computer ever made,
1:01:48
No 9000 computer has ever made
a mistake or distorted information,
1:01:53
We are all by any practical definition
of the words...
1:01:57
...foolproof and incapable of error,
