The book’s text is a reproduction of a previously unpublished letter from the world renowned film director Fritz Lang to his good friend rocket and space travel enthusiast Willy Ley. The letter reveals that George Pal was not Heinlein’s first choice as producer for the film Destination Moon based on Heinlein’s novel, and concerns events of the summer of 1948 when the young Heinlein visited Fritz Lang in the hopes of inspiring him to produce an accurate and technically correct film of a journey to the moon. Destination Moon was released in 1950, directed by Irving Pichel, written by Alford Van Ronkel, Robert A. Heinlein, and James O’Hanlon, starring John Archer, Warner Anderson, Tom Powers, and Erin O’Brien-Moore.
