A behind-the-scenes look at a Hollywood dramatization of space travelers exploring the surface of the moon, this this gouache cover painting by Ed Lafferty appeared on the cover of the May, 1950 edition of Popular Mechanics. The scene illustrates an interior story that investigates how close scientists were in 1950 to manned space flight and dissects the accuracy (or lack thereof) of Pal Productions film “Destination Moon.”
