Production history

According to science fiction scholar Gary Westfahl, "virtually no information [is] available about this film." Westfahl speculated that Destination Space, a joint production of Paramount Pictures and CBS, was actually a pilot for a prospective TV series about space travel, produced in competition with the pilot for Men into Space. According to Westfahl's theory, CBS chose the latter series, which debuted in 1959.

Rip Van Ronkel, the producer and writer of Destination Space, was the co-screenwriter of the 1950 science fiction film Destination Moon. Destination Space makes extensive use of stock footage from the 1955 Paramount science fiction film Conquest of Space.
