Fritz Lang - Woman In The Moon - 1929. Landing
Loading...
Uploaded by manferot on Jan 7, 2009
Some nice and funky early special effects in this scene from Fritz Lang's underrated science fiction classic "Woman In The Moon" (Frau Im Mond) from 1929 (A.K.A. "rocket to the moon"). This was Lang's last silent movie.
Featuring the talents of Willy Fritsch, Gerda Maurus and Fritz Rasp, among others.
It should be noted that during the third reich, which happened a few years after the movie was made, the nazis had the models destroyed and the film withdrawn from release. They considered the rocket to be too close to reality. It was after all, designed by none other than Hermann Oberth, one of the fathers of rocketry and astronautics, who was also Wernher Von Braun's teacher, boss and collaborator.
A lot of contemporary science went into the making of Woman In The Moon. It shows the very first ever countdown to launch of a rocket. An idea invented as a dramatic device for the movie, but later adopted in real life. Also depicted for the first time are the use of liquid rocket fuel, a rocket with two stages, and zero gravity in space.
Of course, there were also bad calls, like the submerged launch and the moon atmosphere.
Woman in the moon was the first "serious" science fiction film.

I wonder what Fritz Lang thought when he saw, in 1968, the Apollo 8 footage with an earthrise, just like 3:15

When I was a lad a Soviet probe struck the lunar surface at a velocity mistaken by 200 kph or so and , of course , failed . As we were even then still somewhat scared of the SU we took this news with some satisfaction . The Hollywood remake , should it ever come , should respect physics .
