Viewing Notes
An interesting poverty row sci-fi that came out at the dawn of the sci-fi boom in movies. Obviously low budget, but not so low that it takes away from its charm. I love the bunk beds in the spacecraft and the depiction of G-forces! Though they don’t refer to it as a slingshot move, they do fit in using the “gravity” of the Moon to boost their trajectory towards Mars.
The whole jealous lover/competing for the only female scientist thing is goofy and unnecessary but still entertaining, just not in the way it was probably intended.
