In some earlier versions of the screenplay, the Icarus ships used rotating sections to provide artificial gravity. This is not used in the finished movie, so people experience normal Earth gravity everywhere while aboard the ships (apart from a short moment in the Icarus II airlock before it is re-compressed). An early storyboard shows the crew boarding the stricken Icarus I and finding that the only gravity is "sideways", towards the bomb. The plan was to build a second set for the Icarus I so that the characters would be seen walking on its walls and ceilings due to the altered gravity, but the budget didn't allow it. Instead, they re-used the set for Icarus II, and covered it with dust to clearly differentiate the two ships.
