Summary "Operation: Outer Space" by Murray Leinster is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The narrative follows Jed Cochrane, a television producer, who is unexpectedly called to participate in a journey to the moon as part of a peculiar assignment. Cochrane grapples with feelings of unimportance and the disillusionment that comes from being just another cog in a vast corporate machinery while also confronting the wonders and dangers of space travel. The opening of the book presents Cochrane's cynical reflections as he travels to the space-port, setting the stage for his internal struggles and the societal pressures faced in a densely populated world. He receives orders to accompany a team to the moon for a project spearheaded by a psychiatrist, Dr. William Holden, who seeks to aid a troubled scientist, Dabney. Through Cochrane’s journey, we witness his sense of humiliation mixed with curiosity about the vastness of space. As he and his team embark on their mission, the narrative hints at the exploration of deeper themes regarding hope, ambition, and human connections amidst the backdrop of cutting-edge technology and the cosmic unknown.
