T O P I C R E V I E WApollo14LMPMany years ago I remember "Stowaway to the Moon," a TV movie based on a young boy who gained access to, and boarded a Saturn V rocket destined for the moon.The rocket lifts off and heads for the moon when the source of the extra weight on board the Saturn V becomes apparent... yes the crew discover their non-paying passenger. The story concludes with the boy saving one of the crew who become space sick.bengutteryStowaway to the Moon (1975)micropoozInteresting to note that Pete Conrad had a part in the movie as a news commentator!
