This collection contains eight short stories by Isaac Asimov, L. Ron Hubbard, Manly Wade Wellman, Lewis Padgett (joint pseudonym of Henry Kuttner and C.L. Moore), A.E. van Vogt, and E. M. Hull. The introduction is by the prominent rocketry expert Willy Ley. Willy Otto Oskar Ley (1906-1969) became interested in rocketry after reading Hermann Oberth's technical work Die Rakete zu den Planetenräumen (1923). Aged only 19, he wrote a popularisation of the book's contents, beginning his career as a prolific author. He was one of the first members of the amateur Society for Space Travel (Verein für Raumschiffahrt) and served as a technical consultant on Fritz Lang's Woman in the Moon (Die Frau im Mond), the first film to depict realistic space flight. Ley was deeply opposed to Nazism and fled Germany in 1935. He settled in the United States, where his background aligned with the post-war explosion of interest in space exploration and science fiction. In addition to many one-off books and articles, he published a regular column in Galaxy Science Fiction, appeared in the 1955 Disney programme 'Man in Space', and was cited by the US House of Representatives Select Committee on Astronautics and Space Exploration.
