DEXTRE is nothing like HAL 9000
It can't even play chess or cut off life support properly.
As one of the astronauts said:
"Well, I am a big Arthur C. Clarke fan and I have to say that Dextre just isn't as smart as HAL," stated Linnehan, inspiring laughs by his fellow astronauts. "But, he's built to be braun [brawn] and not brains and he's going to serve a big purpose up here in terms of moving a lot of hardware around from point 'A' to point 'B'."
And the ISS isn't anything like the Space Station in 2001. There
isn't even a single Hilton Hotel aboard.
