Man Conquers Space
I think I must have heard something about this before, but I just
(re?)discovered this excellent video teaser for an in-work film called
"Man Conquers Space," an alternate history "documentary" of a greatly
accelerated space program that puts humans on Mars in 1968. It's based
on the plans laid out by Wernher von Braun in the early 1950's in a
series of articles in Collier's Magazine, illustrated with paintings
by Chesley Bonestell. Unfortunately I can't find anything on a release
date for the film - perhaps they are still looking for funding.
Colliers Rocket in Orbiter
In the meantime I will mention again that you can explore this
alternate space program first hand through the great Orbiter add-on
"World of Colliers" by Erik Anderson and John Graves. It may not look
quite as good as the CGI in the movie teaser, but it's available now,
and you can fly 'em yourself.
