![]() ![]() Avenging his dead friend and colleague, and to save his own life, Dave entered HAL's logic and memory center and disconnected all the higher brain functions, so that the computer could no longer conceive of any more malice. However, Bowman was denied reentry by Hal, and had to force his way in through the emergency airlock, abandoning the corpse in the process. Unfortunately, Poole was dead by the time Bowman recovered his body. ![]() The impact had severed Poole's air hose, allowing the precious oxygen to leak out and slowly suffocating him to death.Īfter watching Poole floating away from the ship on an external camera, Bowman took one of the remaining pods and attempted a rescue. Both astronaut and pod went careening off into space. HAL seized control of the pod and rammed it into Poole. Poole left the ship to replace the unit, but during his task, he was violently interrupted. HAL suggested that Poole go out and put back the malfunctioning unit and allow it to fail. He "overheard" that they were planning to disconnect him. However, he could still read their lips through the window. Poole and Bowman met secretly in one of the EVA pods, thinking that HAL couldn't hear them. HAL gives a reason for this faulty problem noting it was due to "human error", this results in the two astronauts gaining suspicion against the computer. ![]() Bowman went on an EVA mission to replace the unit, but after the manual diagnostics, neither Poole or Bowman could find anything wrong with it. Only about a month into their voyage, the HAL 9000 (the on-board artificially intelligent computer) reported a malfunction in the AE-35 unit, the device responsible for maintaining a communication link with Earth. Poole was assigned as one of the crew of Discovery One, as second-in-command, only behind Dave Bowman both men were the only astronauts not in suspended animation. In Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, Poole was portrayed by Gary Lockwood.ĭr. He and Commander David Bowman were the only two on board not in suspended animation. Francis “Frank” Poole was an American astronaut and part of the commanding crew of Discovery One, the first manned mission to Jupiter. ![]()
