This episode takes place aboard the Mars Excursion Module in 1978 and in Arizona in 1968.
The uniform patches worn by the MEM crew are the same patches worn by the "Spindrift" crew in Land of the Giants (1968), another Irwin Allen production. They were also used as insignia for the uniforms worn by members of "Galaxy" organization, in the film Our Man Flint (1966).
