The original composition is an amazing 18-minute long symphonic metal track, and will appear in its entirety on our soundtrack album.

This particular 2-minute mix covers the departure from the space station through "trans-lunar injection" -- the maneuver that takes a spacecraft from Earth orbit and sends it on a transfer orbit to the Moon.

I found this to be the perfect match for the sequences involving the "Lunar Transportation System" or "Moon Shuttle" that is the main source of resupply for Moon bases and of course, the ISF-1 colony founded by our protagonists. In "No Children in Space", we have sequences aboard the shuttle as young Georgiana, her mother, Hiromi, and also Josh and Tim travel to the Moon. This is the first real "science fiction" element in "Lunatics!" (up to this point, everything is closely based on real, existing space technology).

The artist is J. T. Bruce, and he is also a graphical artist and animator.

This was one of the few tracks for "No Children in Space" that was not originally under a free-license, but we sought and got permission to release it under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike.

The visuals you see here are various pre-production models and plans we've created in the development process for the "LTS" Moon Shuttle. There are a few inconsistencies here as the design has evolved somewhat, and of course the final art will show more differences.

We are currently running a Kickstarter to fund the production of "No Children in Space", and we really need your help to do it. Copies of the soundtrack (and of course the film) will be among the rewards.
