Destination Moon (1950)

I believe I have read every Heinlein book their is from when I was a kid growing up as a kid. Was my favorite author at the time, and I think he still might be, though there are a couple of close seconds. Going to have to put this on my ‘to watch’ list just on general principles.

That and just the fact that this is from George Pal productions. Have not seen that name is a long time…

George Pal was a celebrated effects guy, so his stuff was a big deal for sure, but when he worked directly with Heinlein on this film, it was pretty prophetic as to how space exploration would go. They explained the science to the public real well in this film & even put the little rich boys in the private sector ahead of the government. Good stuff.
