Destination Moon (16mm)

Presented by Odyssey Film Institute

A team composed of an aerospace scientist (Warner Anderson), an ex-Air Force general (Tom Powers) and an industrialist (John Archer) conceive an ambitious plan to land Americans on the moon. From their base in the Mojave Desert, they construct and successfully launch a spacecraft named “Luna” that contains a cargo of four astronauts. But a critical miscalculation of needed power to escape the moon’s gravitational pull may put the astronauts’ lives in danger.
