	Frau im Mond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Frau im Mond is a science fiction silent movie released in 1929, and is often considered to be one of the first "serious" science fiction films.
		It was written and directed by Fritz Lang, based on the novel Die Frau im Mond (1928, translated as The Rocket to the Moon in 1930) by his then-wife and collaborator Thea von Harbou.
		The first successfully launched V-2 rocket at the rocket development facility in Peenemünde had the Frau im Mond logo painted on its base.

	Fritz Lang FRAU im MOND vintage still / Germany 1929
		Directed by Fritz Lang, Frau im Mond may appear scientifically outlandish to the modern viewer, and the high-style expressionistic acting of its actors overdone, but nevertheless the film should be recognized as a landmark which impacted world history.
		The production models of the liquid-fired rockets from Frau im Mond were so advanced that in 1936 the Gestapo seized them as state secrets.
		Frau im Mond maintains its impact to the present day.

	taoyue.com: Film Reviews - Frau im Mond / Woman in the Moon (1929)
		Frau is noted to have pioneered the 3-2-1-liftoff sequence, and only the people who have seen it know more of it beyond that.
		It's got an impressive pedigree — the technical sections are attributed to Dr. Hermann Oberth, known as the father of German rocketry and mentor to Dr.
		For its time, though, the Oberth-penned sections of Frau im Mond represent the forefront of scientific knowledge in rocketry and astronomy.

	Woman in the Moon
		Although it was never a box office hit, being a silent movie when the new "talkies" were all the rage, it was technically accurate and visionary for its time.
		Indeed Frau im Mond's Moon rocket was virtually identical to the one Oberth he had already described and illustrated in his Die Rakete zu den Planetenraumen.
		However, although Oberth and a young colleague by the name of Wernher von Braun got as far as testing their rocket engine in the lab, it was never destined to fly.

	Rudolf Nebel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nebel was born in Weißenburg and trained as an engineer.
		He was an early member of the VfR and assisted with Hermann Oberth's failed publicity stunt on behalf of the group to launch a rocket at the premiere of Fritz Lang's film Frau im Mond (Woman in the Moon).
		Nebel acted very much as the group's spokesperson, organising the donation of materials from various local businesses, and negotiating with the Berlin municipal council for the use of a disused ammunition dump for the VfR's launchsite, or Raketenflugplatz.

		The novel was written as a result of the German film Die Frau Im Mond (aka Woman in the Moon among other titles).
		One of the most fascinating things I found in reading it was that almost the entire first half of the book is not to be found in the film; or at least as commonly seen in the United States.
		We can only wonder what Die Frau Im Mond would have been like if a scrapped plotline had been put in; originally evidence was to be found on the moon indicating its inhabitance by humans from Atlantis!

		On October 4th, at the Castro, the Goethe-Institut presented a tribute to Fritz Lang: Frau Im Mond (Woman in the Moon) at 7:30.
		Probably the most realistic lunar expedition prior to NASA's 1969 voyage, Fritz Lang's science-fiction epic Frau im Mond (Woman in the Moon) is truly remarkable in its use of imaginative sets and special effects.
		Based on a melodramatic script by Lang and his wife Thea von Harbou that deals with the conflicts among the crew of a rocketship on its way to the moon, the film's expressive photography incorporates work by the pioneer animator Oskar Fischinger, with prophetic details such as multi-stage rockets, weightlessness and the first countdown.

	Fritz Lang’s Der Frau Im Mond :: mike.whybark.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Der Frau im Mond, (directed by Fritz Lang) was the silent at the Paramount on Monday, a 2 hour and 40 minute film that left me gaping and Viv snoozing.
		The film was released in 1929 but is not well known because it was suppressed by the Nazis (the scientifically correct depiction of lunar rocketry offended Der Fuhrer himself, apparently— it was a state secret, and so it was rolled back).
		Interestingly, show organist and film historian Dennis James claimed that Werner Von Braun had consulted on the film, and I’m inclined to lend credence to the claim (Googling led to some German-language sites that mention von Braun and the film at the same time).

		The German fascination with rockets included the July 5, 1927 beginnings of the Verein für Raumschiffahrt or German Rocket Society, and rockets in the popular imagination were catalyzed by Fritz Lang's 1929 spaceflight epic Frau im Mond or Woman in the Moon.
		The era also witnessed numerous experiments in rocket transportation, from Fritz von Opel's (1899-1971) rocket automobiles of 1928, through a railroad train propelled by rockets which, in June 1928, reached a 100 mile-per-hour speed on a sixteen-mile run between Celle and Burgwedel.
		The Sander RAK 1 flew two miles in seventy-five seconds on September 30, 1929 with Opel as the pilot.

		"Frau" was the first film to depict the launch of a spaceship with a rocket and a countdown.

		Presented for the first time in a recently restored version, Frau im mond is an impressive technical achievement and a slow-going drama.
		The astronauts rest in simple cots suspended on hammock springs, and clock runs backwards to zero for the launch while crowds of onlookers and radio reporters wait anxiously.
		The miniatures are beautifully done, even if not always well shot (scale becomes apparent through focus problems) and I'm going to guess that animator Oskar Fischinger handled many of the space scenes.
