Yes, he should have cut 10 minutes out of that part

The very start of that scene works in the context of the movie. But then it drags on and on because Kubrick is essentially masturbating. That's the only part of the movie I'm tempted to fast forward though. I wouldn't tighten up anything else. I appreciate how it portrays the mundane aspects of working in space, including the boredom of a long space voyage and the associated mental health effects. And with an abstract story and a lot of metaphors to take in, I like that it gives me time to think about it.
