It also took me almost a week to get that 1.6 hours. Man I hate my brain sometimes. Great yarn. Very 1950s or 1960s pulp sci-fi. The fancy new US spaceship crashes on the moon. The crew meets the decedent descendants of an alien empire who’ve lost the will to innovate. They spend all day staring at screens and listening to music instead of living. The US commander, Perry Rhodan, hatches a plan to save the aliens, save the Earth, and get the crew home. It’s very early sci-fi and German. Lots of focus on square-jawed heroes and technical details. In all a great yarn to start the longest-running sci-fi franchise in history.</blockquote>
