Absence of logic can be highly entertaining!
One of the best things about a sci-fi entry like this is that it seems to take itself seriously. If it were made 20 years later, it's likely there would be some evidence of self-mockery, but as it is, "Missile to the Moon" has all the required ridiculous situations, Mr. Wizard dialogue, and deadpan stereotypes, playing it straight-faced for the duration. It's filled with moments that make you seriously wonder just how much 1958 audiences would buy. Fred Willard is a guest riffer, and he is a great addition to the team---they don't miss one ridiculous moment.
