Postulates the first manned trip to the moon, happening in the (then) near future, and being funded by a consortium of private backers. Assorted difficulties occur and must be overcome in-flight. Attempted to be realistic, with Robert A. Heinlein providing advice.
A hopeful, earnest journey into the unknown. This film feels like a classic science lesson, filled with the wonder of discovery and the quiet triumph of human ambition. It’s a charming, optimistic look at space travel’s early dreams.
