Inhale and exhale completely to oxygenate the lungs and tissues of your body, then exhale completely before opening the door to space. You'd have about 30 seconds under the best conditions to get back into a pressurized environment before losing consciousness.

Apparently that secrecy is what made HAL go crazy when they talked about disconnecting him, since it would jeopardize the Mission, which had top priority over the lives of the crew. So Dave had to complete the mission as the sole survivor, to land on the monolith. Then he got assimilated by it... and the King reunited with Frank Poole in the year 3001 when they found his body a thousand years later and revived him. Because a giant Diamond fell on the monolith and damaged it, causing it to try to destroy the Earth, and they had to stop it from doing so by uploading every computer virus ever known to it.

Which means for the main console in the centrifuge they had 12 of them going at once, all sel-sync'ed to the big old 65mm camera.

I like the technical aspects of the explosive bolt sequence. It feels exactly like the kind of real, overly-complicated safety sequence you'd expect to find on such a vital piece of equipment.

Unexpected item in podding area

I finally found out how they did the zero-g in this scene. They put the camera in the floor pointing 90 degrees vertically, so the set was really a drop shaft. There was an unseen rope tied to Keir Dullea's back, and on the other end there was a circus roustabout. When he jumped face-first towards the camera, the rope was knotted at a certain point, and when the knot reached the right position the roustabout would jump off as a counter-weight and yank Dullea back up; the rope was strategically twisted so that it would look like he was spiraling in zero-g. Basically he had to do a swan dive off a 15-foot drop and hope like hell something didn't go wrong when it was time to stop him from hitting the floor. How about that, badass stunts make badass movie scenes.

I've seen Dullea say this but it just doesn't make sense to me. If that whole airlock set was 10 metres long, it would take Dullea _one_ second to fall from one end to the other. How was this roustabout going to react to the knot arriving and jump off within a fraction of a second? Then, he has to react to a second knot while falling? And, for all that, we don't see Dullea fall towards the camera and bounce back in the one shot. In the actual scene, the shot of him falling towards the camera could have been done just with a fixed line. The next shot of him hitting the wall and bouncing back could have been done by the wall being on the ceiling, they pulled him on a wire quickly up towards it, then let him go once he'd reached the end. We can see these were separate takes, too, because as he falls towards the camera his hands are close in to his face and his legs are together. When we see him from behind, his arms look more widespread and his legs are clearly wider apart. When he bounces back, his legs are generally straight out, but in the next shot when we see him heading towards the pod his legs are bent at the knees.

Scared the hell out of me as a 10 year old kid! I watch this film at least two times every year.

As Clarke in his book stated so eloquently, Dave was one of the few to ever hear the absolute silence of space. The tension of this scene is top notch-even today I'm always scared that Dave would have flown right out into space after rebounding off the airlock inner wall. The absolute silence until the airlock pressurizes to conduct sound is mind blowing.

HAL’s oh shit! face at the end 😂

I remember reading something about this scene; meaning it was going to shot a different way, or he had his helmet, whatever. During filming I believe that a pilot flying very high, high enough that his blood could boil and his eyeballs freeze and pull all the air from his lungs at that altitude,. His cockpit was pressurized and he lost his canopy, he did not have his O2 mask on. he allowed the air to leave his lungs because if he held his breath his lungs would shred. Anyway, he managed to get his mask on, but he had to keep his eyes closed so they would not freeze, he bailed out high, but survived. So Kubrick wanted that type of scene in the movie because it could be done in a total vacuum. Perhaps somebody else knows about this. Thanks.

Explosive bolts will never look the same again 👍

A master class in sound design. So effective.

I love this scene so much. Overcoming the odds and the relief as oxygen fills the airlock.

Perfect example of "I'm about to do what's called a pro gamer move"

Always with attention to detail, Kubrick cut from the cacophony of alarms to silence when Dave enters the airlock. This was as it should be because there was no oxygen to carry sound. A great scene! The one error was Dave holding his breath. Under those conditions, take a deep breath, expel it, then try not to void yourself.

Not oxygen, just normal air but yeah I agree

@@arxalier2956 That depends. A spacecraft large enough to have an airlock may be pressurized with air at sea-level pressure, but a spacesuit could not be, because under full air pressure it would be like a fully inflated balloon and the astronaut couldn't move their limbs, so spacesuits use pure oxygen at partial pressure. Transitioning from air to partial pressure requires time pre-breathing pure oxygen while still in full pressure to get nitrogen purged from the body and avoid getting the bends in the low-pressure environment. If an astronaut might do an EVA from their pod, they couldn't go straight from air to oxygen very quickly, so it's likely the pod, and thus the pod bay too would be a pure-oxygen environment. The living area of Discovery could be air or a compromise like the 25% nitrogen low-pressure atmosphere of Skylab, which would make transitions to pure oxygen a quicker process.

@@MagicAl5F4781 I like that analysis. At the time the movie was being shot (pre Apollo 1 fire) the two manned space programs were still working out the best pressures and mixtures as well. So it's good that Kubrick/Clarke, as in so many things that this movie gets right, didn't spell things out with a sign that indicated mixture and pressure. The movie is a masterclass in "show, don't tell".

The scariest part here is when he bounces back towards the airlock door and for a moment you think he might bounce back out into space.

Bowman was a true fighter till the very end

HAL: It was just prank, bro.

Hal's thinking, oh, oh

Man never understimate a human being...N E V E R!

When Dave closes the door. Hal: I'm soo fucked

He was exposed to around 15 of vaccum and still stayed conscious.

I really like how you can see him exhale as hard as he can before he gets ejected.

In Dr Strangelove also you will hear and see Explosive Bolts.

This is what astronaut fraternities do for fun when they have been drinking together

Notice at 0:58 he BLOWS all the air out of his lungs, as hard as he can, so there'll be no air in them when he's exposed to the vacuum of space. Then Arthur C. Clarke watched the film, and says that Dave is TAKING A BREATH! Clearly Clarke wasn't all that smart sometimes.

10/10 thanks yify!

When they showed 2001 at Ebertfest in Champaign-Urbana, Keir Dullea was at the Q & A session after the movie. He told the audience that Kubrick had him lowered and raised by a cable, with the camera pointing straight up. Kubrick then sped up the film to make it look like he was being shot out. Dullea also said it took two weeks to shoot this scene.

I can confirm what the other folks here have posted. Keir Dullea at the recent Egyptian Theatre screening a few days back mentioned that this was him on a notched cable, with a circus performer tied to the other end to counterbalance. Once Keir was lowered all the way (coming towards the camera), the counterbalance performer moved to the next knot on the rope and jumped off the top again, causing Keir to go up in the air (away from the camera). Keir said that they would've usually done stuff like this with a stunt performer, but with this scene that was impossible, because of his missing helmet in this scene!

How they do such bad effects today with everything at their fingertips is what you should ask.

well done ... although extremely dangerous, nearly impossible ...

This scene always makes me tear up

HAL 9000 calculated that David would not do what he said he would as he would risk dying quickly in the vacuum of space if he failed, far sooner than if he remained inside of the safety of his EVA pod. Therefore, to preserve life, David would not attempt it. What David would be thinking is that, even though he could be killed quickly in the attempt to enter via the emergency airlock, he's dead anyway if he doesn't get back aboard the _Discovery One_ as his EVA pod won't support his life for very long. Therefore, with the reward of success being survival, David gambles that he can seal and pressurize the airlock chamber before losing consciousness in his attempt to get back aboard his ship.

Fun fact: the ejection shot was filmed vertically with camera looking right up.

Circus roustabout jumped off a platform with a rope to counter balance the jump.

It's a great movie and a great scene. My only quibble is that the pod's door would have preceded Dave Bowman into the airlock, propelled by the same gush of air, where it too would have bounced off the inner wall and begun flying around. That would have made filming the scene far more complex so that's the only reason that I can imagine that Kubrick elected not to be completely accurate.

uhm... if it was completely accurate; all of the gases and liquids inside of his body would've immediately flown out of his head... he would've died instantly. Are you being serious? The door is of least concern.

That's an interesting point because Stanley Kubrick went back and forth on that because it wasn't known if something like what you describe would have happened. The issue was settled for the scene to be with Bowman without his helmet after Kubrick learned of the results of some experiments with animals exposed to explosive decompression by the Air Force. Here's a more detailed discussion on this scene by a scientist who works at NASA. www.geoffreylandis.com/vacuum.html

The pod's door doesn't blow out, it get's blown open. If you look carefully, the door slides open. You just don't notice it because you're focused on Bowman.

What people don't realize is that decompression is not instantaneous. He had enough time to flip the inner airlock switch. Kubrick consulted with NASA on how this would be done.

From the standpoint of filming the scene, I can imagine the door would have been moved horizontally relative to the camera's perspective while camouflaged with the cloud of smoke in order to allow Keir Dullea to be lowered into the airlock set. However, the explosive bolts are clearly situated around the edges of the door both in the interior and exterior perspectives which would indicate that their purpose would be to cut bolts holding the door in place around its perimeter.

The Simpsons episode House of Whacks is a spoof of this film. The House Computer which was voiced by Pierce Brosnan acted in a similar way to HAL.

Notice how Dave inhales and holds his breath before entering the air lock, which is a complete vacuum. This would cause his lungs to ballon until they rupture due to the lack of atmospheric pressure. The proper thing to do before entering a vacuum is to exhale.

Arthur C Clarke wasn't on set that day, apparently, that's why Bowman rather stupidly holds his breath when he should have exhaled...

I'm 61 now, all my life I've asked people is this possible.

Someone should use ElevenLabs to re-synthesize HAL's audio production to make it less human. This is a historical movie, and it simply deserves to shine in its brightest light. Using a voice actor who convey information in sarcasm to dig at the human implies that it is afraid of direct confrontation. If it wants to induce psychological agony, it would just do that more overtly. If it didn't care, it would go lengths to hold back. These passive-aggressive stuffs just dispel the magic.

It's picky of us to criticise this amazing scene but I too have doubts as to whether anyone could survive full vacuum even for a short time - they could have used make up to show bruises on his face & neck perhaps. With poetic license it's a great scene.

The pressure difference is only 1 atmosphere. It's like coming up from a few meters down in the water, only your body was built to live at that depth for all its life. The gruesome stuff that happend to diver happens at 8 atmospheres or so.
