The Rocket Ride to the Moon, Stuttgart 1937

Seen from a height, a great oval ride with a painted floor and a balustrade of globe lamps stands among booths and trees, a factory chimney and apartment houses beyond; across its gateway runs the lettering Raketenfahrt zum Mond, and small figures climb its steps. The rocket was the fairground's newest dream: Fritz Lang's film Woman in the Moon of 1929 had made space travel popular, and in 1937 the army's rocket team under Wernher von Braun moved to Peenemünde.
