Venture to the Moon

Venture to the Moon is a covering title for six short stories of about 1500 words each (by Arthur C. Clarke) that was commissioned for the London Evening Standard and first published between 23rd and 29th May 1956. It was successful enough that the stories have been reprinted elsewhere, often several at a time or as the complete set, and led to a follow-up set of six stories "The Other Side of the Sky".
