A brisk pulp-era space adventure propelled by velocity, danger, and cosmic ambition.
In 240,000 Miles Straight Up, L. Ron Hubbard sends daring explorers beyond the safe boundaries of Earth in a rocket ascent that becomes a confrontation with the unknown. What begins as technological triumph quickly transforms into a struggle against unforeseen hazards in the void between worlds. As altitude becomes isolation, survival depends not merely on machinery but on human resolve.
Written during the energetic expansion of early American science fiction magazines, the story reflects the era's fascination with rocketry, vertical exploration, and the promise of spaceflight before such dreams became reality. Fast-paced and direct, the narrative exemplifies pulp-era speculative fiction's confidence in bold action and uncharted frontiers.
