Another mistake in the film (other than Heywood Floyd knowing that the
monolith hadn't been discussed with the crew) is the lone EVA pod in the 
docking bay of Discovery. I had always thought that there were only 3 
and if one was lost with Frank Poole, another when Bowman had to enter
the ship manually (ahem) and the last when Bowman heads toward the
monolith then why is that one there? The suit without the helmet in the
docking bay may also be a blooper (shouldn't it be a helmet without a 
suit?) but I haven't seen 2001 in awhile.
