Fig. 23: Life on Mars. The presentation of the world and development processes that is shown by this image practice is completely diametrically opposed to the image logic man- ifested in Road to the Stars. In Tomorrowland we are dealing with hybrid images and image sequences. Image material which is heterogeneous and ontologically on completely different levels is blended, fact and fiction are entitely thrown

This race meanwhile wasn’t just one for the technical and military supremacy in space but served furthermore and probably above all to demonstrate this supremacy within the mass media.

But elsewhere things are more down-to-earth. When German-born rocket ex- pert Werher von Braun stands in front of a blackboard and starts teaching the audience about the thrust power of a so-called V2 rocket by means of diagrams and mockups, then that is a classic educational film as they are still known even today (see Fig. 21). Another attraction is the classic adventure movie. There is, for example, a live-action sequence from “Man and the Moon” about the dra- matic first orbit around the moon (see Fig. 22 a-c). During this journey the crew of the spaceship has some problems with hitting rocks. When the space- and mockups, then that is a classic educational film as they are still known even
