	Conquest Of Space DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		CONQUEST OF SPACE introduces a group of men brought together to construct an innovative robot to explore the depths of Mars.
		CONQUEST OF SPACE was the fourth and final of producer George Pal's space operas of the fifties (preceeded by Destination Moon, When Worlds Collide and The War of the Worlds (Special Collector's Edition)).
		CONQUEST OF SPACE [Spoilers ahead] deals with the first manned flight to Mars, which is launched from an Earth-orbiting space station simply called "The Wheel." But even as the human race boldly forges ahead into the future, human weaknesses remain.

	Conquest of Space (1955) \| The Stop Button
		There are a handful of visual elements I noticed, one as obvious as the rotating space station, one I might be making up (repairing of the antenna tower).
		Conquest of Space is ludicrously bad for most of the film.
		The writing, however, eventually makes Conquest mildly interesting, at least as a historical document, which is what my greatest hopes were for it once the terrible narration began after the Paramount logo.

	DVD Verdict Review - Conquest Of Space
		Wracked with "space sickness" and convinced that landing on Mars is a violation of man's place in the universe as decreed by the Bible, Merritt sabotages the landing, potentially destroying the mission and his fellow astronauts.
		Conquest of Space was George Pal's grand attempt to expand upon Destination Moon using his increasing clout as a visionary producer.
		Perhaps the most interesting thing about Conquest of Space is its obvious influence on later science fiction; the adventures of a racially diverse team of space explorers working together with a loosely defined mission of exploring God's domain is the very bread and butter of Star Trek.

	The conquest of space in the time of power - Eduardo Rothe/Situationist International
		The conquest of space is part of the planetary hope of an economic system which, saturated with commodities, spectacles and power, ejaculates into space when it arrives at the end of the noose of its terrestrial contradictions.
		Functioning as a new “America,” space must serve the states as a new territory for wars and colonies — a new territory to which to send producer-consumers and thus enable the system to break out of the planet’s limitations.
		Once the walls have been smashed that now separate people from science, the conquest of space will no longer be an economic or military “promotional” gimmick, but the blossoming of human freedoms and fulfillments, attained by a race of gods.

	Russia's Space Agency Chief Sets Out Plans for 2007 - Space - RedOrbit
		Space technologies are being utilized within the system of management, land-evaluation activities, industry, transportation, and other areas.
		Russia is unrivalled worldwide in its use of space vehicles in the interests of oil and gas exploration.
		As far as the new year of 2007 is concerned, it is planned to conduct around 20 launches of Russian space rockets under the Federal Space Programme and other programmes of the militarized departments, mainly the Ministry of Defence.

	Conquest of Space (1955): Walter Brooke, Eric Fleming, Mickey Shaughnessy, Phil Foster - PopMatters Film Review
		Instead, Conquest of Space offers a stellar void much as we have come to understand it in the half century since the movie came out: a vastness filled with nothing.
		Already the challenges of space are not as sensational as those held out in other sci-fi outings of the time (though the movie does take time out for an obligatory meteor shower).
		Merritt's protests actually date pretty well -- contemporary liberal sensibilities often subscribe to the view that space travel is a continuation or extension of the colonial impulse -- but in the context of the movie, Merritt's anti-expansionist sentiments are deemed another kind of "space fatigue," a diagnosable condition.

	Conquest of Space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Conquest of Space is a 1955 science-fiction movie produced by George Pál which depicts a voyage to Mars.
		The film credits say that it is based on The Conquest of Space, a 1949 book which itself has unusual credits: it is by "Chesley Bonestell and Willy Ley", the first-credited Bonestell being the illustrator and Ley the writer.
		The British Interplanetary Society, founded in 1933, was perhaps the earliest space advocacy group, promoting the then-fantastic notion that space flight via rockets was technically feasible and that it ought to be attempted.

	SubmissionToGod Alone
		The human observer in space above the Earth's atmosphere sees a fl sky and the Earth seems to be surrounded by a halo of bluish color due to the same phenomena of absorption of light by the Earth's atmosphere.
		It is a completely new spectacle therefore that presents itself to men in space, and the photographs of this spectacle are well known to present-day man.
		Here again, it is difficult not to be impressed, when comparing the text of the Qur'an to the data of modern science, by statements that simply cannot be ascribed to the thought of a man who lived more than fourteen centuries ago.

	Bernard A. Schriever. ICBM - a Step Toward Space Conquest, 1957.
		Space technology, probably for some decades, will not revolve primarily around apparatus for controlled movement of vehicles from one point to another in empty space.
		Several decades from now the important battles may not be sea battles or air battles, but space battles, and we should be spending a certain fraction of our national resources to insure that we do not lag in obtaining space supremacy.
		Besides the direct military importance of space, our prestige as world leaders might well dictate that we undertake lunar expeditions and even interplanetary flight when the appropriate technological advances have been made and the time is ripe.

	The Space Review: The feminization of American space policy (page 1)
		Books and magazine articles in the1950s regularly touted “the conquest of space” or the heavens, and were dominated by discussions of competition and national security.
		Because of the close ties between the civilian space program and military interests, it is not surprising that the space program borrowed the language, goals and symbolism common to the national security world.
		Christa McAuliffe was scheduled to conduct a “classroom in space” when she was tragically lost along with the other six members of the crew of the space shuttle Challenger in January 1986.

	The minned conquest of space
		Space shuttle are much more expensive than the space catapult, but is the only way to get mins and other delicate cargo into orbit.
		The Stovepipe space shuttle is a regeneratively cooled airplane, fueled with liquid hydrogen and a small amount of liquid oxygen.
		The OTV is the ubiquitous tug that transfers loads from LEO, deposited by the space catapult to upper level orbits where they are used to build space craft, space stations resupply space stations.

	Mars My Destination: The Golden Age of Red Planet Film
		Along with a team of space scientists and engineers, von Braun envisioned what the first Mars voyages would be like in a series of books and magazine articles.
		One of those books, The Conquest of Space, became the inspiration for the 1954 film of the same name, directed by Byron Haskin and produced by George Pal, who had made Destination Moon.
		A decade after Conquest of Space, human beings had orbited the Earth, were planning trips to the moon, and were on the verge of exploring Mars with spacecraft.

	Future Space
		Man has been travelling in space for nearly fifty years, and yet films about space travel are still regarded ipso facto as science fiction.
		Science had declared that Earth and space were the same and the rules that applied in one applied in the other with equal strength.
		Let's face it, the vast resources that went into the space programmes in the 1960s and the enthusiasm of the engineers who built the first rockets was not due to geopolitical considerations, nor from a level-headed assessment of what benefits would come from going to the Moon.

	DVD Savant Review: Conquest of Space
		One of the biggest disappointments of the first wave of 1950s science fiction, Conquest of Space was a flop that seriously hindered George Pal's career as a producer.
		Hand-painted mattes are used a lot on the space wheel, resulting in fluttering edges and erasures of parts of the station from frame to frame.
		In outer space the ship is obviously rolling on uneven rails (accompanied by some nice, spacey Van Cleave music trills) and the Mars landing is an okay but overly familiar scene.

	Soviet Conquest from Space
		Technical development of the MOK was the first large-scale space technology study which used combined, earth resources studies, economic analysis to determine the best engineering solutions.
		The ultimate expression of this evolutionary approach was the Mir space station of the 1980's and 1990's, which met many of the objectives of the MOK study.
		Russian elements of the International Space Station of the next century are still derived from the basic modules designed for Almaz and MOK in the 1960's.

		The Conquest of Space, first published in 1931, was the first English language book to tackle the problems and potential of manned space flight.
		Lasser, who was the founding president of the American Interplanetary Society (currently known as the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics), provides an entertaining explanation of the state of affairs of rocketry in the early part of the 20th century.
		He concluded that the cloud cover probably blocked sunlight and kept the temperature at a comfortable level for sustaining life (as opposed to the boiling caldron we know it to be today based on the discoveries of unmanned probes).

	"Reflections: The Conquest of Space" by Robert Silverberg
		There will have been, I’m sure, a moratorium on further shuttle flights while all this work of inquiry is going on, and a general hold on all NASA projects will probably still be in effect when this piece is published.
		Of course manned flight into space is going to get started again, sooner or later, once the current anguished debate dies down.
		To shut down manned space flight because it is too risky would be to say that those seven died in vain.

	The Conquest of Space
		Book (1949) written by Willy Ley and illustrated by Chesley Bonestell, based on material earlier published in a series of Collier's magazine articles on space travel (see Collier's Space Program).
		In a thematic sense, Conquest follows on from Pal's Destination Moon (1950), taking space exploration beyond the Moon to interplanetary space and, in particular, a manned journey to Mars.
		Although the characterization is poor and the dialogue often inane, there are some memorable scenes, including those of a rocket attempting to outrace a pursuing asteroid and a wheel-like space station, designed along the lines proposed by Wernher von Braun.

		They are of the new generation to which space travel is not going to be a dream of the future but an everyday job with everyday worries in which they will be engaged" Willy Ley, 1951.
		These books outlined the future the children of the "baby boom" would grow up in, the world of space (example).
		The illustrations in these books show facts (as they were known) mixed in with the fantasy of space flight and led many of the readers of these books to "dream of space".

	The Harmonic Conquest of Space by Bruce Cathie
		It became obvious that either we were being observed by some sort of advanced vehicles coming in from outer space, or that some scientific group on Earth had discovered a principle of physics unknown to the rest of us and that secret research was being carried out.
		The only way to traverse the vast distances of space is to possess the means of manipulating, or altering, the very structure of space itself—altering the space-time geometric matrix which, to us, provides the illusion of form and distance.
		The key to the Universe—to the whole of existence, to the seen and the unseen, to forms, solids, liquids and gases, to the stars and the flness of space itself—all consisting of visible and invisible waves of light.
