Forgot to mention in my reply (above) to your query about Dave seeing himself 
age and die: this was presumably an effective Kubrick touch to suggest to we 
viewers that our astronaut is learning to die to his old self - he won't need 
that where he's going. Kubrick himself never liked having to explain any of the 
plot as a film stands or falls on its own merits.
