Footage of the U.S. Jupiter spacecraft in this movie is actually film of the real Gemini spacecraft, which flew between 1965 and 1966. The Gemini spacecraft were used for testing of such activities as EVA, and docking for the Apollo space project which was to follow. Ironically, the Soviet spacecraft in this movie were called "Gemini" (the name of the real-life U.S. spacecraft) and their designs were based on inaccurate UK perceptions of what the Russian Voskhod and Vostok spacecraft looked like, something which was not known until 1967, after this movie had wrapped.
