The interior was inspired by spacecraft images and environments portrayed in 2001: A Space Odyssey according to Ford.

'I'll come to that,' said Larsson, turning back to the spacecraft image.

Reminiscent of the canali controversy, some speculations are based on small scale features perceived in the spacecraft images, such as 'pyramids' and the 'Face on Mars'.

Martian time periods are based on geologic mapping of surface units from spacecraft images.
