The Red Planet

Between 1953 and 1958, Journey Into Space attracted millions of listeners, gripped by the mystery and promise of space exploration in weekly cliffhanging installments. The second series once again starred Andrew Faulds as Jet Morgan, with David Kasoff as Lemmy, Guy Kingsley Poynter as Doc, an Bruce Beeby as Mitch. It opened with Jet and the crew on board the flagship Discovery, leading a fleet of spaceships. Their mission: to explore Mars, the mysterious and—as they believe—uninhabited red planet. All twenty episodes are included, as well as a bonus 10-minute interview with creator and writer Charles Chilton.
