Trivia

According to production designer Dyas, the inspiration for the ship's rotary design came from observing the seeds of sycamore trees, and how they spin like tiny helicopters as they fall.

Quotes

Arthur: They say Time Heals all wounds.
Aurora: Broken Hearts aren't that simple, Arthur.

Spin gravity is the apparent source of gravity on the ship. However, there are several inconsistencies with its portrayal. The hallway where Jim welds and Gus walks have the "2001: A Space Odyssey" curvature. However, the dining area, the lobby/atrium, and the bar are all relatively large areas with no apparent curvature at all. Additionally, the windows of the ship are on the walls of rooms, when in fact, with spin gravity, they should be on the floors. We get the same presentation looking into the ship from outside - the exterior windows are on room walls, not room floors. Further, the porthole at the end of the swimming pool should be at the bottom of the pool, not the end, and when Aurora is swimming and the "gravity" is lost, even with some magical artificial gravity force that just quit, the water should then migrate towards the porthole, not float weightless.
