Disney version of weightless world-men’s plight in outer space
To stir up interest in a children's wonderland called Disneyland which he is erecting outside Hollywood, Cartoonist Walt Disney will devote part of his March 9 TV show (ABC-TV. 7:30 p.m., E.S.T.) to the problems man will have to handle when he takes off-perhaps soon-on a trip into outer space. The cartoon that night will deal with the delights and difficulties of living outside the jurisdiction of the law of gravity. Disney is simulating these conditions in space machines he plans for a section of his park he calls Tomorrowland. In space, man, as well as his women and children and property, will be weightless, and without a reorientation with reality he will not be able to operate. Meteorites will harass him as he runs his rocketship about. And the Martini that means so much to him in the evening may fly away forever if he forgets where he is and hoists a toast to the wild blue yonder.
