Bruce Dern as peace-loving Freeman Lowell aggressively eating a cantaloupe in space. DP: Charles F. Wheeler.

“It calls back a time when there were flowers all over the Earth… and there were valleys. And there were plains of tall green grass that you could lie down in – you could go to sleep in. And there were blue skies, and there was fresh air… and there were things growing all over the place, not just in some domed enclosures blasted some millions of miles out in to space.”

– Freeman Lowell
