exploration
of outer space on an 80-foot Spacearium dome

KLM-Royal Dutch Airlines is sponsor of this
Cinerama journey into outer space showing in dome theater.

ROCKETING VIEWERS into outer
space, past the moon and into the far galaxies, the Cinerama
film To the Moon and Beyond projects exploration of space
against the 80-foot dome of a Spacearium on top of the Transportation
and Travel Pavilion at the Fair.
Presently sponsored by the KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, the film
is shown to paid admissions. It was produced by Graphic Films
Corporation for Cinerama, Inc. and Rod Serling narrates the film.
The audience is taken within the action which generally occurs
in darkness to free the viewer from conventional ideas of size
and time.

Speeding up the events known to astronomers, the picture shows
(though animation) how clouds of gas whirl into great galaxies,
expanding outward from one another, with old generations of stars
exploding to distribute the gaseous components of subsequent
stellar generations, visible in our time.
Returning to earth, the film takes us to a great rocky canyon
to illustrate the shape of matter on the stars . . . to the middle
of a great forest and to the bottom of the sea. In one sequence
the audience finds itself at the bottom of an anthole, watching
the insects crawling in and out above. But the intricate workings
of molecular and atomic space are the films' true goal. From
a broad view of the cosmos, attention shifts to the familiar
building processes that we call the chemistry of the
Left: a moving stairway takes viewers up
to the dome theater for Cinerama "Moon" journey.

planets: the relation of liquid water to the diverse manifestations
of life. The incredible complexity of living forms is revealed.
As a stirring conclusion, the pulsing image of a single living
cell is invaded by the camera, accompanied by loud "booms"
of sound on the track.
To the Moon was lensed by Graphic films in double-frame
65mm. Final magnification to the 600X screen dimension required
utmost care in the production of convincing special effects material.
It has succeeded.
