A hilarious sendup of a General Motors promotional film, and then of a classic cliche'd black and white movie about the first trip to the moon. The movie took itself seriously, obviously, but looked at decades later it's funny as hell all by itself. Add in what the Satellite of Love crew can do, and it's hard to breathe steadily while watching!
The main feature appears to have been a riff/ripoff of the successful George Pal movie, "Destination Moon," which had been co-written by Science Fiction master Robert Heinlein. This is most definitely NOT that film, but a film that was obviously a very bad attempt to be like that film. Special effects are generally very bad, acting is wooden and lame, and the crew's riffs are always on target.moreless
