Yes, its really a great film. The video came with "Star Wars Theme" played on an electric organ! Horrid & so out of place for this old film. I replaced it with some music off an old CD.

...the missile is kept into a big shelter and is transported to the launch point along a railway in the same mode as the APOLLO's of 40 years later

Cool ! Thanx for posting this ! That rocket has air intakes that look surprisingly like an F15's. But then again, those controls would give a Motie Engineer a heart attack ( give me a sign anybody who gets that last one ).

I'd venture and proffer to say that this great early effort by Fritz Lang may have become the impetus to Amelia Earhart and the later development of feminism. It definitely shows great influence to the later science fiction special effects of my favorite of all time- Kubrick’s 2001 A Space Odyssey. -Mark Seibold, retired IT Tech, Artist-Astronomy Educator, Portland Or.

MS: The answer is "No!". Amelia Earhart had her pilots license and owned an airplane by 1921 eight years before this film was made. Fritz Lang played no part in her interest in aviation. Her mother did not believe in raising "nice little girls" and didn't!

When I first saw the title, I thought Ralph Kramden finally made good on his promise to Alice:"To da moon!"

Hi I need help locating a movie I saw as a young child it was about a lost girl she was on the moon. Was found as a ghost writing her name back way.

Larry Niven "The Mote in Gods' Eye". At least the "Destination Moon" guys had controls over their acceleration couches.

@jeancocteau1 The person who first started launching, sad to say, was Goddard, the one that got laughed at and called "Moonie", due to the fact that he said that mankind would someday go to the moon. That was around the early to mid '20s.

Thanks for uploading the movie, they mentioned it in the BBC documentary "Space Race" so I wanted to see it. And is that the original music, or did you add it yourself?

One of the reasons the rockets look so realistic is because Lang used real (albeit amateur) rocketeers, including a young Wèrner von Braun!

+Jeff Gorham Werner von Braun saw this film and got inspired.

It was actually Hermann Oberth, the man who is considered to be one of the founding fathers of rocketry and the physics surrounding this industry. Wernher liked that movie very much but he was 17 at the time. :D

Quite stupid to place the controls in a way that forces the pilots to reach out of the acceleration seats to manuever them...

@Thespilian 15 жыл бұрын

Well, von Braun started to work with Hermann Oberth in 1929, who published "Die Rakete zu den Planetenräumen" in 1923 already and was an adviser on Lang's movie. So von Braun was more inspired by Oberth than by this movie, I'd guess.

Hhaha...I noticed that too. With all the "modern" advancements, ya still have to climb a dangerous rope ladder to get onboard! Also the controls are badly located. You have to twist sideways in your bed to operate them. I guess thats why its science FICTION! Anyway, I still love the movie!

Sonuvagun, that was one quick lift-off! Maybe being launched from a swimming pool did the trick. Hey, does anyone out there have the footage from "Weltraumschiff 1 Startet"???

I wonder how much of this kind of thing was intended for predictive programing for that generation as Star Trek was to our own. Of the German technology and planners, I also can wonder what they had up their sleeves because it sure looks like what US moon program 30 years later.

I don't know why, but I'm not getting a single note of music. It is truly a silent film. For ages man thought that the moon was made of green cheese. Then we went there and found out that it was just made of rock. We haven't been back since.

This film inspired Werner Von Braun. Then living in his native Germany to design the Saturn 5 rocket. That would one day carry Apollo 11 to the moon.

Great new book (Did these stories really happen?) has info on Fritz Lang and his movies! Plus, a dedication to Star Trek actor Bill Shatner! Book at amazon!
