Adaptations
Episode 12 of the Dimension X radio series was called Destination Moon and was based on Heinlein's input to the script of the movie. During the broadcast, the program was interrupted for a news bulletin announcing that North Korea had declared war on South Korea, marking the start of the Korean War.
A highly condensed version of the story was released on a 78 rpm disk by Capitol Records in 1950 as part of the "Bozo Approved" series, under the title of Destination Moon (Adapted From The George Pal Production by Charles Palmer). The narrator was Tom Reddy; Billy May composed incidental and background music. The story took considerable liberties with the film's plot and characters, though the general shape of the story remains.
DC Comics published a comic book based upon the film. It was printed in Strange Adventures # 1 (September 1950).
