The Video A-ha in Space

• Directed by Philipp Stölzl
• This video was filmed in an abandoned mine near Pilsen, Czech Republic.
• The suits worn by A-ha in this video were reproductions of real lunar suits. They had been originally used in the movie "Apollo 13."
• The theme of this video is based in reality; Paul and Magne have always complained that Morten is late to every meeting and concert and interview. In this video they thought it would be fun to leave him behind.
• For the "Minor Earth | Major Tour" this was the first song on the setlist.
