Line 26:
* [[Interplanetary Voyage]]
* {{spoiler|[[Kill'Em All]]: Several expedition members are killed by the Martians. The remainder return to Earth only to have their rocketship crash because they've no fuel to land, or even put themselves into orbit.}}
* [[Sci -Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]]: To avoid being sued by George Pal this Moon expedition goes to Mars instead. What the hell -- it's only 50 million miles away! The journey from Earth orbit to Mars takes days instead of months {{spoiler|and they still have enough fuel, water, oxygen and food to make it ''most'' of the way back}}.
* [[Sound in Space]]: The obligatory meteor shower goes roaring past the rocketship.
* [[Space Friction]]: Apparently when the engines stop in space, you're stranded and can't move.
