 | Destination Moon is a depiction of the first moon landing, not to happen in real life until 1969. |

| Destination Moon is a depiction of the first moon landing, 19 years before the real-life event. |
| Destination Moon at 50 (1110 words) |
| Destination Moon starts with a pyrotechnically spectacular failure, and itÂ’s impossible to see the burning rocket without thinking of its counterparts in the real-life chronicles of Mercury and Apollo. |
| In both Destination Moon and in real life there was a near-disaster, averted through the ingenuity of the ground crew and the astronauts. |
| The film even foretells what was probably both the most unexpected and most important result of the Apollo missions: the heart-stopping images of not the moon, but the Earth. |
