Review of When Worlds Collide (1951) by Ralphieboy333 — 30 May 2008
An early entry in the scientific disaster movie category, the characters are cardboard-y but the rocketry employed isn't too bad for 1951. Horizontal launch ramps had been used for V-1's and a low cabin-to-tank ratio had been assumed since the V-2 (most of fuselage needed for fuel).
That latter was due to the relative inefficiency of the fuel type; today we get better performance from cryogenic approaches, as with LOX... Neat to see this V-2 style attempt on film, though it would have been dangerous as hell.
