This time around on Journey to Wonder, Joe and Chris review the 1938 horror novella, "Who Goes There?" by John W. Campbell. For those of you who were not aware (as we were not) this novel was the inspiration for the cult classic 1982 John Carpenter film, "The Thing". We also discuss the 1951 Howard Hawks film "The Thing from Another World" and the 2011 prequel film to the 1982 film, also confusingly named "The Thing".

Next time, we will do something a little bit different by delving into the world of non-fiction by reading 2009's "Failure Is Not an Option: Mission Control From Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond" by NASA's own Gene Krantz, discussing the evolution of the US space program. In keeping with our format, we'll use the discussion of this book to inform a compare and contrast of real world events to the "what if" scenario presented in the amazing Ronald D. Moore show, "For All Mankind".
