"Men into Space" was on for one year, from Sept 30, 1959 to Sept. 7, 1960
on Wednesday evenings on CBS from 8:30 to 9:00 (source: The Complete Directory
of Prime Time Television Shows: 1946-Present).

Yes, indeedy, the star was William Lundigan who played Col. Edward McCauley.

Even though the show was science fiction, it tried to deal realistically
with the problems an astronaut might encounter in space and on the moon.

P.S. -- I don't know about the sliding doors and such, but much of the
activity did take place on the moon.
