I will if I can, Frank.

POOLE:

At the end of a hundred days of

exploration, we will all go into

hibernation. Is this true?

HAL:

That's true.

POOLE:

Approximately five years after we

go into hibernation, the recovery

vehicle will make rendezous with

us and bring us back. Is this true?

HAL:

That's true

POOLE:

There is no other purpose for this

mission than to carry out a

continuation of the space program,

and to further our general

knowledge of the planets. Is that

true?

HAL:

That's true.

POOLE:

Thank you very much, Hal.
