> I think Destination Moon was a serious attempt to predict the future. The rocket they used was modeled after the German V2 of WWII fame. They did a spacewalk, using magnetic shoes to keep from drifting away. The rocket had "atomic" engines using plain old water as a reaction mass. The space suits were color coded "for easy identification." They demonstrated zero gravity in space and reduced gravity on the moon. In 1949, it all looked pretty realistic. Flying saucers and space critters wouldn't have fit in with all of that.

OK, now it sounds even more familiar, but I'm less sure that I've seen it. I've just been trying to dig out a magazine that might have had an article on it (in the context of NASA faking the Moon landings), but I can't dig it out. I'm mostly certain that that's where I saw it though, now.
