2000 Plus

In the year 2000 plus six, Colonel “Brad” Bradbury while flying to the rocket base in Rocket X-93, crashes and is seriously injured. Colonel Bradbury is absolutely necessary for a test rocket launch scheduled for the next day. However, he has sustained a “cracked skull.” He is taken into surgery immediately and given a metal plate in his skull.

The top secret rocket that was scheduled and now delayed is a new type of “two way” rocket that can both land on the moon and return while being remotely controlled from the earth. The new rocket is critical to the political concerns of the United States who believe that whoever “controls the moon controls the world” and if another nation gets their first the world is in trouble.

Whatever Became Of Your Favorite Classic Space Travel Actor

Have you ever wondered “Whatever Became of…” someone who years ago was famous and you haven’t heard of them in years? Here at Spacemen’s Luck I have wondered “Whatever Became of…” the many personalities who played Classic Space Travel characters that helped form my vision of Space Travel in the 1950′s and 1960′s.

Not being someone who is willing to wait for someone else to do it for me and after a search around the internet I found no single source discussing “Whatever Became of…” those Classic Space Travelers.

Welcome to the Spacemen’s Luck website. Here we can enjoy our  reminisces from our childhood memories of the age of space.

My name is Thurman “Ray” Plumlee and I am a baby boomer who was born in the mid 40′s (specifically 1947) and enjoyed the radio and TV shows of the 1950′s.  My personal favorites are Science Fiction Theater,  Tom Corbett, Space Cadet, Commando Cody the Rocketman, Rocky Jones, Men Into Space, CDR Buzz Cory of the Space Patrol and Superman.

That is not to say I didn’t enjoy the other shows like Captain Video, Dimension X

With the Russians Sputnik, our Werner Von Braun  and all these fine science fiction TV shows airing it is no wonder the the 1950′s heralded the beginning of the “age of space.”

So come on in and enjoy the “age of space”.
