Page "Men into Space" Paragraph 8

Men Into Space, later syndicated as Space Challenge, used for its plots many technical and human problems anticipated by engineers and planners.

For example, the show depicted attempts to refuel spacecraft by tanker in orbit, construction of a space telescope, an experiment to dispose of high level atomic waste by launching it into the sun, the search for life-sustaining frozen water on the moon, exploration and destruction of an asteroid whose orbit threatened Earth, and exo-fossil evidence of extraterrestrial life.
