Phase Three
The interior of the gondola of the Aurora also went through some variations.  One of the first sketches of the control panel, and the concept of the globe, came from Gavin Scott, as seen in Figure 10 below.

Some of the inspiration for the interior of the Aurora came from the sets for Captain Nemo's stateroom in the Disney movie "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". More detailed versions of the interior were provided by Norman Sarrazin, and later modified by Rick Overton, as shown in Figures 11 and 12.
