tkdguy Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Frau Im Mond (Woman in the Moon) is a 1929 silent film by Fritz Lang. Some of the science is inaccurate, and some scenes have been cut in this version. But it's still an entertaining flick.

During WWII the FBI investigated some scifi authors who submitted stories including "atomic bombs". The stories were not suppressed for fear that it would tip off the Nazis that we were working on nuclear weapons. Because by that time atomic bombs were already a known scifi trope.

Lawnmower Boy Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Re: Woman in the Moon Ah. But do we have any sources for that other than, er, self-inflating science fiction writers. Because not just "the atomic bomb," but the Manhattan Project secrets were blown in the press, big time. As for the alleged secrecy of Nazi rocket projects, it might have helped if they hadn't carried out their wartime research in the same place and on the same beaches and with the same experts that got all that press as the Berlin Interplanetary Society in the 1930s. Rockets and missiles: not secret, but on the contrary given a great deal of publicity before the war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
