Docking Bay 37 Life's Moonship
This spaceship was featured in a single article in Life magazine in January 1949. The article had some scientific backing to it. In the article, a staff artist Noel Sickels illustrated it with a picture of a two-stage rocket to the moon. Done in the typical Life magazine style with many pictures and little text, it was published in response to the rising public interest in space travel. As it turned out, When it comes to popularizing Space Travel, few magazine articles have had more impact than the one in Life Magazine's January 1949 issue.
.
.
The article featured pictures that described the various aspects of space flight. It showed why rockets should be liquid propellant and not solid, why spaceships should be staged, and had well done convincing pictures of the inside and outside showing what a spaceship to the moon would look like, based on then current understandings.
.
 .
Whereas normally this particular article would have little impact it turned out that this ship would be used as the guideline for a spaceship to be featured in a very influential movie which would follow it in the very next year.
This is how Life's moon ship would be given another lease on life, as Rocketship X-M.
