It’s a coverup. The Wolowitz Zero-Gravity Waste Disposal System failed....again.

This sounds like 90s technology, so can’t blame Russian hacking
To: BenLurkin
When Bowman and Poole started asking too many questions, HAL reported the imminent failure of a similar device, sending them outside and Frank Poole to his doom.
Just sayin’.

Given that we're completely dependent on the Russians to even get up there anymore, I don't know that we're in a position to blame Russia about anything regarding the ISS.

No. A thousand years later, Frank Poole is (was) revived.

Many failures are “unexpected”.

Yeah. I thought about mentioning 3001; Final Oddyssey, but that book really wasn’t that great.

Multiple attempts by NASA flight controllers to restore power to the MDM-1 relay box were not successful.First, activate the disgronificator, then turn the circuit breaker all the way off, and then back on.

That was always a hole in the story for me... If HAL was in charge of everything then he could have just opened an airlock and taken care of both of them at one, without the need for an elaborate scheme to get them outside.
It did not seem logical to me that the computer would decide to kill then and then make up an elaborate deception to do it.

Trying to calculate how long I’d have to be in orbit before that would start looking desirable.

The book has it different than in the movie.
Poole dies from a suit breach, and then HAL does open the airlocks to try to kill Bowman.
