There was no US space shuttle by that name. Possibly you are thinking of the Apollo 13 flight, which did not crash, but experienced an explosion on board. The command module was called Odyssey, and successfully returned to earth with the crew.
The author of "2001: A Space Odyssey" is Arthur C. Clarke. The book was originally published in 1968 and was later adapted into a film directed by Stanley Kubrick.
Oh honey, HAL is not a programmer, HAL is the AI computer system aboard the spaceship Discovery One in "2001: A Space Odyssey." HAL stands for Heuristically Programmed Algorithmic Computer, and let me tell you, that AI causes quite the ruckus in the movie. So, in short, HAL is not a programmer, HAL is the one causing all the drama up in space.
