	Missile to the Moon - MJSimpson.co.uk
		Produced a year or so after Sputnik but a couple of years before Gagarin, Missile to the Moon opened in theatres two months after the Russian Luna 2 probe became the first manmade object to reach the Moon.
		Missile to the Moon is cheesy 1950s B-movie sci-fi at not only its cheesiest but also its B-movie-ist and frankly its 1950s-ist.
		And an age when having the Moon populated by a dozen young ladies, a bunch of sentient rocks and a single giant spider-thing was a cinematic possibility.

	Apollo Expeditions to the Moon: Chapter 5
		Galileo drew the Moon in 1610 and described its surface as "uneven, rough, replete with cavities and packed with protruding eminences." While a correct description, his details are unrecognizable now.
		What proved to be the most accurate prediction, however, likened the Moon to a World War I battlefield, bombarded by a rain of meteoroids throughout the millennia, and churned into a wasteland of craters and debris.
		The surface properties of the Moon were largely unknown in 1958, a matter which assumed great practical importance when man's first journeys to the Moon began to take shape.

	Missile to the Moon : DVD
		Missile To The Moon is what you might call the poor man´s version of Cat-Women Of the Moon, sans way-out cat-dance.
		Because the moon women´s costumes are somewhat more revealing and somehow also lend to the ladies more inactivity than the cat-women, this in effect seems to spoil what should have the dreamy ambiance of mystery that was so nearly successfully captured in Cat-Woman.
		MTTM proves once and for all that the moon truly is made of cheese...

	M.E.A. - From Peenemünde to the Moon (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It soon became apparent that the Berlin environment was not conducive to rocket flights, and it was decided in the mid-Thirties to establish a rocket development facility at Peenemünde on the Baltic Sea island of Usedom, at the mouth of the Oder River.
		Many missiles were still in the pipeline to the front, or had been rejected by the troops because of problems and damage.
		Eight missiles were eventually modified for the use of a second stage, the JPL-developed WAC Corporal as an upper stage.

	SPACE.com -- Worldwide Focus on Going to the Moon
		There is growing interest in the Moon, not only for scientific and commercial benefit, but also for its military utility as a propellant storehouse.
		A "penetrating" look at the Moon is on tap for Japan's Lunar-A probe, to be lofted in August-September of next year, said Hitoshi Mizutani, a professor at the Division of Planetary Science at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) -- the core institution dedicated to space and astronautical science research in Japan.
		The primary objective of SELENE is to study the origin and evolution of the Moon.

	Cardassian ATR-4107 - Memory Alpha
		However, the missile failed to detonate upon reaching its target — the Cardassians had used an old-fashioned kinetic detonator in the design, which malfunctioned; the missile simply drifted into orbit around the planetoid instead of destroying it.
		Once she was completed with refitting and upgrading Dreadnought, Torres' nickname for the missile, she sent it, without authorization from Chakotay, her leader, to attack the Cardassian fuel station on Aschelan V.
		As the missile approached Rakosa V, it was confronted by a small fleet of fifteen defensive fighters; even with the Rakosans receiving support from Voyager, they were vastly outgunned and quickly forced to withdraw.

	Analysis: Moon Loses Luster for U.S.
		The probe demonstrated some sophisticated navigation techniques between Earth and the moon before it was intentionally crashed into the lunar surface in 1993, creating a spectacle so dramatic it could be seen by powerful telescopes on the home planet.
		Testing new ideas for a missile defense program, Clementine circled the moon and discovered the possibility that water ice might be frozen within the rocks of craters that are in permanent shade at the moon's south pole.
		Europe's first trip to the moon is expected in late 2002 when they will launch SMART 1, a technology demonstration spacecraft that will test a new type of electric propulsion while in lunar orbit.

	- To The Moon and Beyond -
		While on the Moon they were to extend hardware capability, use a larger scientific payload capacity and to try out and improve the usage of the battery powered Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV).
		As of now we know of 16 moons that are orbiting around the planet Jupiter, but one of these is a very special one.
		The water under the icy surface is liquid because as the moon orbits Jupiter, the gravitational pull of the planet bends and pulls on the little moon.

	CNN - Review: 'Back to the Moon' - June 23, 1999
		He was contracted to build a robotic space probe to go to the moon and return with samples of a substance first spotted by the Apollo astronauts.
		Hickam populates his story with an assortment of "pad rats," two-faced NASA administrators, double-dealing politicians and "steely-eyed missile men." It's a cinch the small army of people who have worked in and around the space agency over the years will recognize the types -- and perhaps themselves.
		Deficiencies in characterization aside, "Back to the Moon" is a ripping yarn jammed full of gee-whiz technology set against the inhospitable grandeur of outer space.

	NOVA Online \| To the Moon \| Max Faget
		And we expected to land on the moon sooner or later, because it was so close, and because everybody could see the moon and it made a very good target for the next program after Mercury.
		So the rockets that were being developed before manned spaceflight really accommodated the ballistic missile program, and they ended up with a much bigger one, so it made it easy for them to do a lot of things with that heavy lift capability.
		It turned out, by the way, that the moon was not just all a bunch of different shades of gray, but it actually had some other colors, some brown and some shades of green and things like that mixed in with the gray.

		After the Americans reached the Moon, the Soviets denied that they had ever tried to compete, and it was only in 1989, 20 years after Apollo 11, that the Soviets finally admitted that they had tried to beat the Americans-and failed.
		Soviet aspirations to send humans to the Moon date back to the early 1960s when legendary Chief Designer Sergey Korolev proposed a number of projects to send Soviet cosmonauts around the Moon and back, i.e., a “circumlunar” mission.
		The Soviet military, specifically the Strategic Missile Forces, which controlled the purse strings of the space program, was reluctant to support a politically motivated project like a Moon program that had little or no military utility.

	Wired 11.05: The Race Back to the Moon
		India and China are in an unofficial but unmistakable race to put a man on the moon, perhaps by the end of this decade.
		Suddenly, the moon would change from a barren place to plant flags and leave footprints into a potential space colony - and a jumping-off point for exploration of Mars and beyond.
		The second race is about turning the moon into a piece of real estate that will sustain future missions - and this time, private enterprise has a place at the starting blocks.

	Savant Review: Missile to the Moon
		Missile to the Moon is nobody's idea of a good movie.
		There are independent 50s Z-productions like Missile to the Moon that seem to reach for the depths of mediocrity, and succeed beyond their wildest wishes.
		Image Entertainment's DVD of Missile to the Moon is very nicely transferred from a source that has some damaged moments, and looks to have lost part of a Leto dialogue line, but is otherwise snappy and sharp.

	AGH Review -- Missile Command (PC)
		Several antiballistic missile (ABM) bases have been created, and it's your responsibility as base commander to protect and defend the cities.
		The enemy begins by firing interplanetary ballistic missiles which are aimed to destroy your cities and missile base, and it's your task to stop the enemy before your happy and harmonious planet is destroyed.
		All in all, Missile Command is yet another update done right, and is good enough to stand on its own without having to rely on its namesake to draw attention of modern game players.

	Going to the Moon
		Luna III rounded the back side of the Moon and returned the first (very crude) pictures ever of its far side, which turned out to be remarkably featureless compared to the near side.
		On September 2, 1970, scarcely more than a year after Apollo 11 landed on the Moon, NASA announced that the Apollo 18, 19 and 20 missions would be cancelled.
		There had always been grumbling that space exploration was diverting funds from domestic social needs, but after the first moon landings the pressures to use space exploration funds elsewhere became politically irresistible.

		Reiffel wrote that the military leaders did not seem concerned with the loss to science that would have resulted from a large atomic explosion on the moon’s surface.
		Part of the team researching the hypothetical explosion was a young Carl Sagan, who was recruited to study how the mushroom cloud would expand and collapse under the moon’s lighter gravity.
		Striking the moon with one of the then-available Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) was entirely feasible, Reiffel wrote, to an accuracy within a couple of miles (kilometers).
