Heavily blogged already I'm sure, but still looks great fun. What is America had gone into space in the 1950s using the designs proposed then? What would the documentary made in the 1960s describing the space program look like? This movie, Man Conquers Space is that documentary. I hope it lives up to its promise, the idea, stills, and clip look great.

The alternative space program theme is also behind Ministry of Space by Warren Ellis. What if the British Empire had gone into space right after World War II?
