It was also the age of the super computer. A highly intelligent machine
named HAL ran and controlled an entire ship, while playing chess with
his co-workers. Hal, was born January 12,
1992 in Urbani Illinois.

While we are on the moon, we have detected an object roughly 20 feet
beneath the surface, an object that seems to have been put there
purposefully. After we excavate the object and a man physically touches
it, The metallic rectangle of 10 feet sends out a radio beacon to Jupiter
that can also be heard by the communications system of the workers.

18 month later, there is a secret voyage to Jupiter The director uses
both music and editing to give a feel for what is happening
in the film. Only two of the astronauts are awake during the voyage,
the others in hibernation. These people have a relative body temperature
of 3 degrees Celsius, and take one breath per minute. Their hearts beat
only three times per minute. We are also told that while in this state
they do not dream, a subject that interests HAL very much. It is
interesting to note that in 2001 there is also gravity in space ensuring
that the astronauts coffee will not spill.
