    • Trivia
      Filmed at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, California. In 1965, two years after this film was made, The city of Beverly Hills purchased the residence. It was made into a public park in 1971. Tours are available from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Dates and times can be found online.
    • Goofs
      372 yards traveled in 6 minutes is not "just under 29 mph". 372 yards in 6 minutes is 2.11 miles per hour; it is a slow walking speed which appears to be the speed that the Mars explorer was moving. (372 yards traveled in 6 minutes = 62 yards per minute = 186 feet per minute = 3.1 feet per second = 2.11 miles per hour)
    • Quotes
      • Dr. Web Spencer: It's not every day we make a successful landing on Mars.
