Operation: Outer Space is a science fiction novel by American writer Murray Leinster. It was first published in 1954 by Fantasy Press.
Premise
The novel concerns the first interstellar flight, financed by making it into a television show.
Reception
Galaxy reviewer Groff Conklin praised the novel as "a fast-paced, sardonic job that is primarily a satire on the future of mass communications."[1] Anthony Boucher similarly praised the novel's satirical elements, although he found that "a slight lack of genuine bite and emotion" kept the novel "from being a front-ranker."[2] P. Schuyler Miller reported that "It's no classic, but it's good reading."[3]
