threat and horror
Scenes include those in which astronauts are menaced by fantastical creatures and radiation. In one scene, an astronaut's space suit punctures and he subsequently suffocates to death.
injury detail
An astronaut's face is mildly bloodstained, and there is also brief limited sight of blood during a medical procedure.
theme
There are verbal references to radiation poisoning causing birth deformities, as well as to death. People grieve over the loss of loved ones.
additional issues
There is a brief verbal reference to Nazi persecution of an academic. However, discrimination is clearly condemned by the work as a whole. Very mild bad language ('damn') occurs. There are brief scenes in which adults smoke, and in which they also drink alcohol.
