Outer Space #24

1959-10-01 · 36 pages

This is an anthology issue featuring multiple science fiction stories. The lead story follows an expedition to the Moon in 2045, where Captain Edward Pierson's crew attempts to grow vegetables and fruits on the lunar surface to support Earth's population; their mission succeeds when sportsman Robert Marson, who holds an oxygen license, helps by sending back fish from the Moon to improve the water ratio needed for their crops. "Fall Guy" tells the story of a man named Harry who, after being frightened by a girl as a child, becomes terrified of everything and is manipulated into becoming a "fall guy"—a radio operator—by a mysterious woman named Artie using new broadcasting technology. "Spaceman" and "The Machine Men of Mars" are also advertised as included stories in this issue.
