It's called ROCKETSHIP XM, written and directed by Kurt Neumann,
starring, among others, Lloyd Bridges and Hugh O'Brian, and ---
you guessed it right --- Noah Beery, Jr. (Rockford's dad). The
story goes that Neumann filmed this in something like two or
three days in order to beat DESTINATION MOON to the theaters.
