BRITISH INTERPLANETARY SOCIETY
Formed in the 1930s by scientifically minded enthusiasts of the possibility of space travel, by the 1950s the society had contributed importantly to the technological reality through its journal's explorations and designs, including a manned rocket based on the V2, a space station, space suits and a ground breaking paper on nuclear propulsion -- and continued making major contributions over the ensuing decades.
