The tale of an aborted Mars expedition (the cosmonauts crash-land on a nearby asteroid instead) features spectacular "spacescapes", as well as a prescient visualization of the Earth's orbit cluttered by manmade satellites. Roger Corman and young Francis Ford Coppola helped themselves to the film's plot and footage for the 1963 opus Battle Beyond The Sun.
