This technological marvel will be the launching platform for the first manned rocket to the Moon. But with government bureaucrats anxious to beat the Russians in the space race, program leader John Benedict is forced to commence the mission before the craft can be perfected. A sudden meteor strike damages the ship's hull, turning the rocket into a ticking time bomb. Benedict and his team now only have hours before what was meant to be mankind's salvation explodes, taking him and his crew with it.\u003cp\u003eProduced by Paramount, \u003ci\u003eDestination Space\u003c\/i\u003e was meant to be a pilot for a regular sci-fi series on CBS. The studio saw the intended series as a way to recoup their losses from George Pal's over-budgeted \u003ci\u003eConquest of Space\u003c\/i\u003e (1955), stock footage from which \u003ci\u003eDestination Space\u003c\/i\u003e would heavily utilize.

He would reunite \u003ci\u003eDestination Space\u003c\/i\u003e stars Harry Townes and Jon Lormer in the episode \"The Return of the Archons\". \u003ci\u003eDestination Space\u003c\/i\u003e also features several actors who will be instantly recognizable to fans of 1950s sci-fi, including John Agar (\u003ci\u003eTarantula\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Brain from Planet Arous\u003c\/i\u003e) and Robert Cornthwaite (\u003ci\u003eThe Thing from Another World\u003c\/i\u003e, The War of the Worlds), as well as Edward Platt, best remembered as \"The Chief\" from \u003ci\u003eGet Smart\u003c\/i\u003e (1965-1970). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePLUS: \u003ci\u003eThe Yesterday Machine\u003c\/i\u003e (BW, 1963):\u003c\/b\u003e A Nazi scientist, obsessed with getting revenge for Germany's defeat in World War II, invents a time machine.
