Destination Moon takes you back in time to before the Space Age for a trip to the moon the way it should be done. You'll ride in a cigar-shaped rocket with Cadillac fins, wear a bubble-headed spacesuit, walk in space and worry how you're all going to get home on the remaining fuel. Although Destination Moon was eerily accurate, actual spaceflight turned out to be a bit more complex, but much less stylish. - Director:
