The article series was the basis for three episodes in the Disneyland anthology
series: "Man in Space," "Man and the Moon," and "Mars and Beyond." The series
was expanded into three books: Across the Space Frontier (1952), Conquest of the
Moon (1953), and The Exploration of Mars (1956). Examples of some of the ships
they modeled are in the World of Collier's add-ons to the Orbiter space flight
simulator.
"Man Will Conquer Space Soon!" was the title of a famous series of 1950s
magazine articles in Collier's detailing Wernher von Braun's plans for manned
spaceflight. Edited by Cornelius Ryan, the individual articles were authored by
such space notables of the time as Willy Ley, Fred Lawrence Whipple, Dr. Joseph
Kaplan, Dr. Heinz Haber, and von Braun. The articles were illustrated with
paintings and drawings by Chesley Bonestell, Fred Freeman, and Rolf Klep, some
of the finest magazine illustrators of the time.
The magazine articles showed earth orbit missions and lunar surface exploration,
to be undertaken by large crews in the 1960/70s timeframe. Several concept
vehicles were proposed and described in detail, such as a Ferry Rocket,[1] a
Space Station,[2] and a Lunar Lander.[3]

February 28, 2023 from Collier's October 25, 1952 "Man on the Moon: The Exploration"; Fred Lawrence Whipple, Wernher von Braun; illustration by Chesley Bonestell. p. 45. - from p. 40: "...tanklike cars equipped with caterpillar treads for mobility over the moon's rough surface. The pressurize, cylindrical cabins hold seven men, two-way radio equipment, radar for measuring distances and depths, and a 12-hour hour supply of oxygen, food, water and fuel. Power is supplied by an enclosed turbine driven by a combination of hydrogen peroxide and fuel oil (oxygen escaping from the hydrogen peroxide enables the fuel oil to ignite)....".
