Early keyframes of The Cepheus traveling across the Solar system. Just like NASA images, you won't find a starry sky in these images. By far one of my favorite tasks for this film.

For a second we thought about having The Cepheus being more like the space shuttles we have today. The idea was scratched almost immediately but I believe the concept remained where Earth citizens could still ride these ones to travel to the Moon.
