The Atomic Rocket Ship Luna, humanity’s first ship to reach and land on the moon. Well, at least according to 1950’s Destination Moon, one of the rare serious science-fiction movies of the era. The Luna was a single stage rocket, was 150 long and used a solid core nuclear thermal rocket, using water as it’s main propellant. In the film the ship lands back on Earth, nose-up, on it’s tail. Pretty impressive since in reality it took another 68 years to figure out how to pull that off. -- source link
