  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

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

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

    Thanks for nothing Stalin!

  5. 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.

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

  8. 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.
