This is a very old thread, but I know the answer so I registered just to reply.
The show was produced at the Charles C. Gates Planetarium in Denver, CO. I have heard the original voiceover recording on 1" Ampex, sometime in 1992 or 1993 when we converted the unused sound booth (then storing stacks of tapes) into a storage closet for our telescopes. Nimoy read about half a paragraph into it, flubbed gloriously, laughed uproariously, and then read the whole thing flawlessly in one take.
I am sure that tape exists somewhere in the bowels of the museum. I believe Mark C. Peterson (Lochness Productions) did the audio engineering and scored it, but I could be wrong on that.
As I remember, that show was not a favorite among the production staff, and it did not do well in ticket sales. It was no longer queued up in the slide trays when I worked there in the late 80s and early 90s. It was really cool to hear the original voiceover recording however. One of my fondest memories.
Janus;
Are you local to that planetarium? Any chance you could check and see if they still have the original?
