Goofs:
Factual errors: The scene in which the astronaut is expelled from his spaceship and instantly turns into a skeleton is scientifically incorrect. The vacuum of outer space would instantly kill not only a human being, but also the microorganisms within the human body that cause it to decay after death. Therefore, a victim of this type of accident would look exactly as he did in life and be preserved indefinitely.

The story concerns the selection and training of three men who are to pilot spacecraft in pursuit of meteorites. Of course there is all the drama and love interest one would expect along the way, but this picture gives us a chance to see the "cutting edge" technology of the 50s space programs. The story moves along swiftly and the cast is first rate. There is also a great title song. Watch this one if you can find it!
