"You will go to the Moon
With the discoveries by Robert Goddard and Hermann Oberth of
liquid-fueled rockets in the 1930's and the use of V-2 rockets in 
the1940's, rocket travel went from science fiction to science fact in 
the public's mind. In post-World War 2 America anything seemed 
possible, even going to the Moon! There appeared in 1949, a book The 
Conquest of Space , which led to a new trend in children's books. 
These books outlined the future the children of the "baby boom" would 
grow up in, the world of space (example). The illustrations in these 
books show facts (as they were known) mixed in with the fantasy of 
space flight and led many of the readers of
these books to "dream of space".
