Chalk down the set decoration, costuming and lighting here and throughout this film as some of the best in cinema history. Absolutely inspired!

Caption:
200 miles above the Earth’s Equator, pilots and a stewardess from a commercial spaceliner relax in the lounge area of Space Station Five. In the background are (left) a picture phone where space travelers can dial a number and see and talk with people on Earth. At the right is the Earthlight room, a restaurant whose windows provide spectacular views of the planet Earth 200 miles away.
