		Luna Moon Landing [42/123] Title: Luna Moon Landing Catalog Number: SF-093 Created: 2000 Caption: Forty-six hours later, the Luna reaches the moon. The ship is reversed by its gyroscopes, so that it approaches the moon tail-first. In order to slow the ship, the nuclear engine is fired. In the film, the landing is difficult, using too much of the ship's fuel supplies. This provides the suspenseful climax of the film, where the crew must try to take off. After landing, it is discovered that the remaining fuel is insufficient to carry so much weight back to Earth. Fortunately, the resourceful crew members unload enough excess weight to solve the problem. The 1950 Rocketship Luna was re-created using Strata Studio 2.5.3 computer graphic program. The stars in the scene are made with Photoshop 5.0. and imported into into Strata as a backdrop. Created by Edward Rowles in 2000
