Is there any way to read those two articles?

Look at the fleet of ships!
Tankers for refueling the orbiter and lander probably,
with some to soft-land the habitat and supplies.
(Don't land until the 'return to orbit fuel' tanker soft-lands!!!)

What would have had to happen on earth for THAT future to come to pass?

No Korean War? No Cold War? No Soviet Union?

or

A radio message from Mars?

Not the articles themselves, but a webpage
with photos from Colliers.

PS:

Archive Dot Org has scans of the 1930 - 1932 issues
of "Astounding Stories of Super Science".

You'll need a cbr reader. It's free.
On the Mac I use FFView.
For Windows, there's Comical.

Oh.... the radio show.
Later maybe.

For those interested, someone is trying to make a movie based on the premise that history actually followed the path outlined in Colliers. The website can be found at http://manconquersspace.com/, Pretty nice, though it has been a work in progress for years.

Christopher...
I've seen some of the clips.

A pacifist Soviet Union, recovering from WWII
=
60 years of space exploration?

Thanks for nothing Stalin!

I want to know how my town can avoid a recession.
After my grandfather died I found tons of old Colliers in his basement. Great articles on how to survive the coming war with the Reds.

Bryan... I suppose the magazine are long gone...?

Chris Lopes said...

Jay, that was my thought too. If he has the space issues, that's quite a find. might even be very valuable.

Bryan said...

If I didn't still have them, I wouldn't know how to survive the coming war with the Reds. They're all pretty moldy from the basement so I don't think the value is that high. I've been thinking of scanning them and making them publicly available but I'm a lazy, lazy man.
