>For spacecraft interior shots, ostensibly containing a giant centrifuge that produces artificial gravity, Kubrick had a 30-short-ton (27 t) rotating “ferris wheel” built by Vickers-Armstrong Engineering Group at a cost of $750,000 (equivalent to $6,800,000 in 2024). The set was 38 feet (12 m) in diameter and 10 feet (3.0 m) wide.
