Life
Frank Poole's boyhood hometown was Flagstaff, Arizona, where he visited the Lowell Observatory at its museums on many occasions. These visits sparked his interest in astronomy and astronautics, and hence he went to college to study these subjects.
In the novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, Arthur C. Clarke stated that both Frank Poole and Dave Bowman had earned their doctorates in astronautics, and hence they were properly addressed as "Dr. Poole" and "Dr. Bowman". This form of address is used in the motion picture, also.

Famous quotes containing the word life:
“Glorious bouquets and storms of applause ... are the trimmings which every artist naturally enjoys. But to move an audience in such a role, to hear in the applause that unmistakable note which breaks through good theatre manners and comes from the heart, is to feel that you have won through to life itself. Such pleasure does not vanish with the fall of the curtain, but becomes part of one’s own life.”
—Dame Alice Markova (b. 1910)
“It’s not the men in my life, but the life in my men.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
“We swim, day by day, on a river of delusions, and are effectually amused with houses and towns in the air, of which the men about us are dupes. But life is a sincerity.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
