[Hallicrafters] Rocketship X-M and Hallicrafters

[David Moorman]

I've been watching Rocketship X-M, a 1950 movie about traveling to  
the moon.  The base communication equipment is an SX-42 and a pair of  
HT-9s.

The movie is something of a hoot.  The astronauts are dressed for a  
safari, and talk to the press until it's T minus 10, when they say,  
"Time is running short, we'd better get going."  Then they're driven  
to the ship in a woodie wagon.   It goes on in this vein - nary a  
space suit is visible, etc.
