Above the Moon

It was the year 1963 and a Martian space ship crash landed on Earth. The wreckage indicated that it had been in a battle. It also had the technical information and components needed for human hibernation in space. A recon mission was ordered to discover what threat these beings actually were. The men trained for years on the equipment developed to carry out the mission. A moon launch was used as a cover up for the Mars mission. Both were launched at exactly the same time. The recon team discovered a race of beings far worse than they originally thought they would encounter.
