I've heard it could have been on the set for 2001: A Space Odyssey. I didn't verify it, but there's a weekend identified when the movie set was shut down and a NASA guy was over in Europe, like there's a window that seems plausible-ish.

By my recollection the sets don't seem too similar, visually.

And a weekend on a film shoot is not long at all, believe me. With technical gear, costumes, etc. aiming for perfection, you'd be lucky to get 30 seconds worth much less 3 minutes. They got a lot of footage. And then you'd have to return it back to how it was before the "lunar interlude". It makes for good lore but with what very little I know it doesn't make sense to overlap.

It'd make more sense to have a second studio set up 90% finished to specs then have Kubrick fly in for a weekend or two.

Has anyone seen "Filmworker", a 2017 docu about Kubrick's dedicated assistant? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6851066/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_1

Can't even find a pirate version of Operation Lune / Dark Side Of The Moon.
