Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Space Explorers
This is the space adventure of a young boy "Jimmy" who stows-away on the a rocketship in search of his astronaut father (Commander Perry) who has reportedly crash-landed on the planet Mars.

Professor "Nordheim," son Jimmy, and "Smitty" the Navigator launch a rescue-rocket the "Polaris-II" to find him.

The views of outer-space are phenomenal as seen from the enormous clear front cockpit of the Polaris spaceship!

--Chuck Scholtz, Resident Scholar
