• Conversations in the spacecraft referring to 'degrees ecliptic' and 'degrees azimuth' are true expressions within general astronomical navigational vernacular. 'Degrees ecliptic' refers to a celestial latitude, and measures the angular distance of an object from the orbital plan of the Earth around the sun. 'Degrees azimuth' describes an object's position by way of a vector angle referenced to a known point of reference such as true north.
• Film debut of Richard Kiel.
• The droning background sound on the planet is from the music library cue "Caliban [sometimes spelled Calibal] and Ariel" by Desmond Leslie from "Vintage Sci-Fi" (JW 2073).
