About this issue

This issue features the full-length novel The Moon Is Heaven by H. J. Campbell, the magazine's technical editor. The story follows Mike, a cynical journalist observer selected for a lunar mission launching from Ecuador. Campbell explores the collaborative effort—funded by private donations, government backing, and public enthusiasm—that has built an experimental rocket under the direction of the renowned Atah Kark. Set in 1963 with three weeks until launch, the narrative examines the psychological dimensions of space exploration: the narrator's fear despite expertise, the anticipation of unexpected lunar phenomena, and the connection between science fiction enthusiasts (the London Circle) and practical space engineering. The novel emphasizes realistic technical challenges and the human dimensions of pioneering space travel rather than sensationalism.
