COMBAT MISSION!
Joe Kenmore's mission was as dangerous as it sounded simple:
"DELIVER SUPPLIES AND ATOMIC WEAPONS TO THE SPACE PLATFORM. THEN PREPARE FOR MAN'S FIRST EXPEDITION TO THE MOON."
Joe had helped launch the first Space Platform—that initial rung in man's ladder to the stars. But the enemies who had ruthlessly tried to destroy the space station before it left Earth were still at work. They were plotting to stop Joe's mission!

Transcriber's Note
A hyperlinked Table of Contents has been added.
Hyphens
Hyphens have been removed from the following words to conform to the majority use in text.
| Page | Word |
| 86 | brain-storm |
| 123 | loud-speaker |
The following words have been left in both hyphenated and unhyphenated forms because of equal prevalence of both forms:
| half-way | halfway |
| pay-load | payload |
| rocket-lift | rocketlift |
| sun-lamps | sunlamps |
| hand-hold | handhold |
| pin-points | pinpoints |
"overall" and "over-all" have been left as such since the writers are different (The narrator and a character).
