Summary edit

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY -- If the entire crew of Discovery One were awake and active for the time that it took them to get to Jupiter, a whole host of problems would present themselves. You have to keep them alive - this would require water, air, and food. All of which would take up valuable mass and space on the spacecraft.
