I hope that this discovery helps that guy get laid. I mean, we talk about supporting science all the time...

I sent that link to our staff engineer. He's doing some research on various control law methodologies...

I sent it partly as a joke, but I also knew he'd be interested...

He's already sent an email to the researcher to get more info...

Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave Bowman: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
