"Rocket to the Moon" by Erik Bergaust and Seabrook Hull. Princeton: D. Van Nostrand Co., (1958). First edition
"Jacket illustration courtesy of Lear, Inc., Santa Monica, Calif."
The book presents the best information, ideas and assumptions on the conquest of the moon as of 1958. The authors, who were experts on missiles and space flight, tell how the moon would be approached, first with instrumented probes and then with man himself as a payload. Fascinating conjectures, based on the latest scientific findings, show what life on the moon might be like, how men would build a base there, how they would explore the moon, and how they would push on from there to further explorations of outer space.
