  1. John Dunning _ On the Air: The Encyclopedia

    The appearance of Destination Moon in movie houses helped make 1950 the year of S-F on radio. Dimension X rose to the task, proving that radio and science fiction were ideally compatible. The series demonstrated {though it would take the perfection of television to prove it} that adding a picture to a story of vision, illusion, or myth does not automatically enhance things. The tube is too small, the props too artificial {no matter how ingenious or technologically advanced} to compete with the landscape of the mind.
