Welcome To Mars #3 - 17th March 2006 (1950: Cheapness and Splendour)

Between 1947 and 1959, the future was written about, discussed and analysed with such confidence that it became a tangible presence. This is a story of weird science, strange events and even stranger beliefs, set in an age when the possibilities for human development seemed almost limitless. Conceived and presented by Ken Hollings with electronic sound production by Simon James.
