Expedition: Moon AKA Rocketship X-M

Yep, this movie is as fun and forward-looking as they say. What I found fascinating from the beginning was the equipment. The short-wave radio barely reached space. The gadgets were an altimeter and an airspeed indicator (what air?), and I liked the airplane throttles for the rocket speed. A 1000-LB fuel tank needs moving, so Major William Corrigan says, “I used to throw a 1000-LB steer over my shoulder every morning.” Colonel Floyd Graham replies, “Are you sure that wasn’t a bull?” The first manned rocket (looks like a V2 shape) is pointed at the moon. Through a series of mishaps and miscalculations, it ends up on Mars. Once on Mars, that looks like Red Rock Canyon, Mojave, California, USA, and Death Valley, California, USA, the crew discovers a secret that is vital for Earth to know. Do they make it back? Will we get the message?
