Did they really have a space station during the English Civil War?

Where the mix up occurred, I'm not sure, so names have been omitted to protect the innocent ...

Below is a screen shot from a TV programme app running on iOS.



At the top of the screen shot is an image which is obviously promoting the 1979 movie, "Moonraker", staring Roger Moore as James Bond.  Shows the bit at the end which is set in Earth orbit.

OK, so an old spy movie on TV soon.  So what?

Well, not exactly ...

Beneath the image, the text is clearly describing the 1958 movie, "The Moonraker", set at the end of the English Civil War (1642–1651).

Anyone giving odds on which movie they'll show?
