in a time of constant political and psychological media.... this old movie of international co-operation and strife in doing something united is a good morale boost and focuses me on real engineering physics.... todays movies often BLUR rational and irrational.... this movie had little of the spiritual irrationality BUT did exhibit FAITH as well as Technological know how and competence. Very simplistic and not overly Psych counselor Pavlovianism that leads to politics and psycholgy murky sulleness that detracts from the goals of co-operation.

12 to the Moon was in production from April through June 1959 at Hollywood's California Studios. The actual filming took seven or eight days, and the entire film was budgeted at $150,000. Although the film was not released theatrically for another year, the American Film Institute notes that "According to an Oct 1959 Hollywood Reporter news item, Columbia purchased the independent production in Aug 1959, intending to rush it into release to capitalize on the topicality of a space launch." However, the film was released the following year as part of a double feature paired with either Battle in Outer Space or 13 Ghosts, depending on the local film market.

Love the oldies. Many books some like Jules Verne and other authors, besides ScFi movies of years ago, somehow some of the stories become semi factual in later years, like men going to the moon with technological advancements. Technology today is far too much in its infancy yet to accomplish what some want to do with space exploration and travel, but someday future generations might be able to do so if the world changes it behaviors and attitudes towards each other, otherwise it will fail and the history of the past will only repeat itself. Very Interesting movie, but never take any animals with you in space they won’t survive and don’t belong there, they belong here on earth….

Badly. It might be possible to design a magnetic compass sensitive enough to react to Luna's very weak magnetic field, but that field isn't dipolar so even then which way the needle would point would be pretty arbitrary, changing direction as you moved. Now, go walking around Ganymede and you're golden. Nice strong, steady field there with two proper poles. Might get a little fluctuation from interactions with Jupiter's own overwhelming magnetic field, but still way more useful than on Luna.

How funny but ten years after the release of this movie we landed on the moon for real.thanks for posting and have a great day

[@TheStream]

Thanks for watching!

[@kjdyatta]

10:00 they leave their seats during what looks like full throttle basically the middle of launch.

[@AndrewGivens]

And they take their helmets off faster than a teenager forgets to put on a condom. Oh and among the equipment they took to the lunar surface is... a box, and another box... and a two-inch mortar with explosive shells obviously. This movie is pure gold - like that huge lump of gold that the science guy throws over his shoulder in disgust.

One top actor in the cast: Tom Conway, George Sander's brother. Had a long successful career ending it playing a ventrilioquist dummy in 'The Glass Eye' a famous episode from Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Id go to the moon if it was so spacious and we could move around like that lol. Hope they feed the animals!

Plastic lawn chairs in the shuttle…portable desktop tape recorder…Taking showers, walking around in a towel…clipboards with pencils…Allah be praised…invisible face mask screen…moon people who communicate in Mandarin and love cats…just to mention a few things that make this a truly sci-fi movie!

Compare the size of the manned area of this spaceship to the Lunar Excursion Module. Pretty optimistic for a first flight!

Hey! I've got some of those "blast-off" chairs out in my garage. I always thought that they were just old chaise loungers. You suppose they're worth anything?

[@oneoffour63]

The High-Tech Lawn Chairs were used to conserve weight .....LOL

[@eddstarr2185]

And just like that other movie from 1960, "First Spaceship on Venus" (The Silent Star), in this movie we don't see the inhabitants, only their shadows. I actually prefer movies where the unearthly creatures are not shown. It's usually just a way to save money but my imagination can make a budget film very entertaining.

[@GeoCalifornian]

The astronauts are wearing jet fighter flight-suits so that at liftoff all their blood doesn’t pool in their lower extremities... 😂 6:14

[@jol1958]

I was hoping that there was a typo and it was a Sci-Fi comedy starring Tim Conway.

I suppose you are an expert

[@pandiculation194]

I am 17 minutes in. I am a Space Historian, familiar with physical space, orbital mechanics and evolutionary science. They did consult the experts and I can see them attempting to teach simple concepts and ideas of what they believe tech is to be. They did well except you can see they are limited to analog thinking and equipment. They were showing off the gyro scope and talked about video tape and Polaroid film before their inventions. They did ignore gravity completely . It must have been to much to understand to explain or demonstrate in a film, just now we are understanding that we have been wrong about gravity. They did understand many thing and are correct. They even encountered space debris in a time where we thought we had so much room we could just create it and not worry. Plastics and fiberglass seem to be in full development and they used item most had not seen yet, the lawn chairs and radar scope hoods and sports clocks and plexiglass cages for the animals. Not one piece of Solid State Electronics and for sure nothing digital, completely analog. I have not seen one yet but no computers, he did make a reference to auto avoidance collision system but no further explanation.

[@underthetornado]

I love the fact we have a inter racial crew like Star Trek only before Star Trek. And plastic lawn chairs as launch beds...lol. no issues with weightlessness...lol. and endless fuel. Nuclear fuel...lol great sci fi!😁🚀🚻

14:40 "Remember - who contributes most to interplanetary travel? Russia." This guy inspired Chekov, who loved to brag about Russian accomplishments on Star Trek. 😂 15:00 The first argument in space 😂 15:24 "Ah you lucky people - nothing seems to worry you." 🤣 This is as far as I've gotten - this is shaping up to be a great comedy!

George , bless thier hearts, they tried!

[@adriennesmid5462]

I've been laughing my a** off since they activated their "invisible magnetic radar shields". Gotta go to The Source or Radio Shak and get me one of these. Did anyone notice that they had no breathing apparatus? Well, I guess you don't need it if there is no glass in the helmets. This film is so bad it's hilarious. Gonna recommend it the You Tube channel Creature Features. Happy New Year to all on earth and outer space.
