2001 Series - Discovery 1 – Pod Bay HAL-9000 Test Bench

Last crawled date: 10 months, 1 week ago

This highly detailed model represents the HAL-9000 Test Bench located in the Pod Bay of the Discovery 1 Spacecraft from the movie 2001 – A Space Odyssey. It is based, in part, on a design by Harry Lange and a 3D model by Tim Thompson, along with details gained from examination of existing original pod bay production still photos. Model Background The dimensions of this model are based on various existing photos of the original Pod Bay filming set. It is interesting to note that a comparison of this model to the version found in Alvatar’s Pod Bay model shows the dimensional shortening of Alvatar’s test bench necessary to create a pod bay model that would actually fit within the Discovery’s Command Module as depicted in the film. #Kubrick, #2001, #Discovery, #HAL9000s, #space, #sci_fi, #moon, #Jupiter, #monolith, #Bowman, #Poole
