About the Design
George Pal's 1950 Space Age classic "Destination Moon" was Hollywood's first "serious" depiction of manned space travel. The centerpiece of the story was the "Luna," a single-stage rocket ship built by a private consortium and powered by a revolutionary atomic powerplant.
The ship's classic winged ogive configuration, inspired in large part by Germany's V-2 rockets, subsequently became a virtual icon for "rocketships" of the post-War era. |
