Luna shows up in at least one or two more films, but Bonestell’s modified Conquest of Space ship is copied an uncountable number of times in movies [8, 9]. times: the inclusion of actor Lang’s dinners with and brief collaboration with Heinlein seems to have generated the whole film idea. That made some cinematic technical issues easier for Lang. An interesting early projection from Heinlein's point of view in 1950 of what a future, actual Moon trip might look like. The USSR paid enough attention to launch their satellite first. The reactor in Destination Moon is never described, but it is not the rather funky Thorium one in Rocket Ship Galileo. Quite a revelation to me at 12! I don’t know if there were photographs of the effects — it was not hard to extrapolate that a 5 g launch would distort the face — but this was a bit overdone in the film, and I’m not sure why Heinlein decided on 5 gs. It is quite striking that the spaceship in Destination Moon is single stage to the Moon and back. It is not clear what Pal wanted in the screenplay, but he was committed to a sort of docudrama. It certainly appeared to be a real device … what was it? Patterson’s biography does not make clear when Heinlein saw the film. I tried to get documentation out of the Heinlein archives , which is available, but seems under current circumstances nobody is at the collection right now. Another excellent review of the film to compliment this one here: https://andyoucallyourselfascientist.com/2018/07/23/destination-moon-1950/. Yeah, Oberth and Ley could not talk Lang out of some German crackpot’s theory that there was an atmosphere on the far side of the Moon. things to come. He made it a personal campaign at the end of 1945 and beginning of 1946 to get the Navy interested in rockets [2, 3]. Heinlein noted that the star background was the best they could do in 1949 [10], but it looks good enough. (Destination Moon) est un film américain réalisé par Irving Pichel, sorti en 1950. Pour financer le développement d'une fusée à propulsion nucléaire et la construction d'une base de lancement, ils s'assurent le concours de grands industriels du secteur privé, en faisant jouer leur fibre patriotique. Dennis Jenkins, ‘Dressing for altitude: U.S. aviation pressure suits – Wiley Post to space shuttle,” NASA SP; 2011-595, 2012. "The Man Who Sold the Moon," Heinlein co-authored a Jack Hagerty and Jon C. Rogers, Spaceship Handbook, ARA Press, October 1, 2001. The first successfully launched V-2 rocket at the rocket-development facility, in Peenemünde, had the “Frau im Mond” logo painted on its base. We all seem to be waiting for “private enterprise” to lead the way into space, if only the big bad gummint would get out of the way and let Capitalism ‘git the job done’. Heinlein’s engineering is first rate, and his politics are certainly predictable. After the end of World War II, Robert Heinlein moved back to Los Angeles.
That really seized my mind; I read what I could about rockets and jets. Robert A. Heinlein, “Destination Moon,” Short Stores Magazine, September 1950.
I did not see a copy of Bonestell and Ley’s 1949 book Conquest of Space, which would have been a bit overwhelming when I was 10, until about 20 years later. The movie Conquest of Space, aside from the narrative, is an odd mix of von Braun, Ley and Bonestell’s popularization of space flight by way of the Collier’s series, von Braun’s The Mars Project and the book The Exploration of Mars. That’s what made the film an almost Popular Mechanics movie, so to speak. AVAILABILITY/ CONDITION/EDITION INQUIRIES: If you have questions concerning specific books not addressed by the Book Description, order the book, and in the Special Instructions section during checkout, specify your exact conditions concerning the condition, edition, or other aspects of the book. Ley was not happy about this. Destination Moon may have come to a neighborhood theater in the spring of 1951 but I did not see the film until the fall of that year at a kiddie matinee. Simply put the fact that the movie has such a dry script plot that it does away with any kind of interest for me in the details surrounding how the movie appears in terms of it visual presentation.
Heinlein wrote Willy Ley asking technical questions. This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Some of Heinlein’s “The Man Who Sold the Moon” also diffused into the treatment. The computer is UCLA’s Differential Analyzer. I saw it when it came out. Moderator: Rob La Frenais (uk) He found Pichel to be bright, understanding and in agreement about the story. When Hastings tells them they must eliminate another 110 pounds, Thayer, Cargraves and Branes each volunteer to stay behind. 19. There is some 1/6th-g action in a traverse. It is all dialog, with no scene headings, action or transitions, which is odd, but probably this is just one of several script forms for the movie. DM has my eternal respect for the main reason that many others give it such high praise: It tried so very hard to be scientifically and technologically plausible in an industry which far more often than not caters first to the lowest common denominator. He has to be rescued. reality; that this movie was something special, something which differed
He wanted a no-nonsense story line and that is what results. I stayed right there until his mother came up to scold him and bring us both back down to eat cake, dying to know what happened. The retro Starship design is made of steel, has a large cabin, would land on the Moon on its tail and need a long elevator ride for the astronauts to reach the surface (Better than that ladder on Luna!) character enabled Destination Moon to educate the public about a subject This was removed early on in Heinlein’s treatment , probably in discussions with Fritz Lang. newspaper article warning of the dangers of the moon rocket's nuclear powered The film is marred by only one horrible scientific howler, I am surprised Trumbo got some things right, like the Martian atmosphere not requiring full up pressure suits. I love the simplicity of testing the air – just light matches and if they burn, there is O2.
before finally touching down, though they have used more propellant than expected. Ley put Lang in touch with Heinlein. Looking back at space movies of the 1950s, it is striking how all the spaceships look like airplanes with rocket engines, if they were launched from Earth. Odd to be hearing this not quite forty hours after LUNA’s “launch” at 3:50 am PDT on June 20—-seventy years ago yesterday morning, as I write this.
Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of. But normally we don’t see heroic CEOs crewing the Deepwater Horizon; those risks also are assumed by others. The advent of the large rocket, the V2, was on Lang’s mind too; he talked to Ley about making another movie about a spaceship to the Moon. The crew is Cargraves, Barnes, Thayer and replacement radio man Sweeney. Imagine the plot characteristic where a rocket ship is headed to the moon and just by happenstance it’s diverted to Mars!
No mention is made of just which foreign power he is talking about. The mention of Jack Parsons rapidly leads to many of the very strangest corners of American culture. Lou Schor put him in touch with screen writer Alford (Rip) Van Ronkel [2, 3]. Alternate version of the movie Destination Moon, a movie that Heinlein helped write, was a landmark film in 1950. That could have been due to budget constraints. * The political aspect of the film seems worthy of a deeper analysis than I can make.
A notable exception was Project Moonbase where the moon ship is a classic true non-aerodynamic ship with an open framework and tanks. Even 2001 is dangerously close to fantasy. https://thisislandrod.blogspot.com/2014/08/conquest-of-space-1955.html. The budget of almost $600,000 was not generous but sufficient, with hard work, to produce good special effects and production design. first viewing some forty odd years ago. (That is quite a story.). U.S. orders insured automatically. Fascinating! Alas, much of profit was eaten up by coverage of the losses from The Great Rupert. "By the time the picture was being shot," Heinlein relayed, "the The first design was in 1938. 9. An interesting trivia contest would be, look at the Conquest of Space moon ship above and the Bonestell redesign (not used in the film)… and find how many times that ship or close variations of it occurred in film. The outside point of view shots are very nicely done, with some good stop-motion work with miniatures, one of Pal’s specialties. It looked like a dried lake bed, impossible on the Moon. An auto-pilot is mentioned several times and seems to be in command many times. The McCarthy-era view of organized foreign interference in the press seems absolutely modern to our sensibilities. (2) Art director Ernst Fegté changed the design, keeping the central ogive and moving the wings back, the wings and a strut became part of the ‘landing gear’. Neither Peter Rathvon nor James O’Hanlon’s reaction to the film seems to be on record anywhere. E. Picholle, "Robert A.

Growing public opposition to the project leads Jim to suspect they have been targeted by a subversive propaganda campaign, and he decides to launch the rocket without waiting for permission.
