Read the book, it's much more comprehensive than the film (which was shortened, significantly). There's a lot more to that part of the plot than the film conveys.
ROTFLMAO! The film was based on a short story, *The Sentinal,* By Arthur C. Clark, who later wrote a novel *based on* the film. Naturally, in that novelization, he had room to add considerable back-story and detail that wasn't in the film.
Partially based. :)
