Author and producer Carl Sagan died during production. He was reportedly taking great care to ensure that science was accurately depicted in this movie.
The remark made throughout the movie by different characters, that if humans were the only life in the universe, it would "be a terrible waste of space", is a famous quote by author Carl Sagan. It references a statement by the Scottish essayist Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), considering the potential worlds of other stars; "A sad spectacle. If they be inhabited, what a scope for misery and folly. If they be not inhabited, what a waste of space."
Carl Sagan was to cameo as a member of the committee selecting an occupant for the machine, but died before the scene was filmed.
The visual effects crew deliberately inserted contradicting images in the Pensacola scene at the end, to create a dreamlike feeling. The beach is brightly lit with no sun in sight, the waves move backwards, and the shadows slowly change from one shot to the next.
The "UFO ABDUCTION INSURANCE" banner across an RV is from a real company. Warner Brothers paid them to use their idea in the movie.
"Alien: You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other."
"[last lines] Ellie Arroway: [to a group of children] I'll tell you one thing about the universe, though. The universe is a pretty big place. It's bigger than anything anyone has ever dreamed of before. So if it's just us... seems like an awful waste of space. Right?"
