"Destination Space" revolves around the history of space exploration and the possibilities of future space travel. In the late 1950s, there was a significant interest in space exploration, driven in part by the Cold War space race between the United States and the Soviet Union. This documentary likely covers the achievements and advancements in rocketry up to that point and speculates on the potential for human space travel.
During this period, both superpowers were making strides in space technology, with events like the launch of the Soviet satellite Sputnik in 1957 and the establishment of NASA in the United States in 1958. "Destination Space" would likely have addressed these developments and their implications for the future (1959).
