I like how the space gangsters wear earth-style suits, ties and all, with their bubble helmets.

And also a woman on the moon wearmg street clothes, dress and heels and a helmet.
Not a lot of consistency here.
First story Albright sends Midnight, in costume to fly the rocket. Second story, Albright flies the plane, then when on the moon, changes to Midnight quite casually without any comment from anybody else.
As for the scientific logic to anything happening in these stories? furgettaboutit! When Carl Barks put Uncle Scrooge in space he was more more logical in the storytelling. Clearly the writer just didn't really care and thought his readership wouldn't care either and he may have been right!
Fun stuff tho!

Albright's "secret" identity as Captain Midnight is even less plausible than Clark Kent/Superman: Albright's face is completely visible when he's Midnight, and he doesn't even wear eyeglasses when he's Albright. So the only difference is their outfit. Willing suspension of disbelief and all that.
For what it's worth, the *best* secret identities are Billy Batson/Captain Marvel and Bruce Banner/The Hulk, since they're essentially two entirely different people.

Reading these space adventures in order, it almost seems the writer and/or editor threw up their hands and said, "This secret identity shtick isn't working. Let's dump it." After the last space story there was only one more issue of CM's comic. Strangely it was a throwback to earlier days, complete with Icky's idiot alter-ego Sgt. Twilight. No mention was made of Cap's interplanetary travels, the "newly-formed space force," or anything else in the three previous issues. I guess the powers that be changed their minds again and decided to restore the status quo--then Fawcett pulled the plug on their comics and that was the end of it.
By the way, I love Zog's volcano head with the Saturnian ring around it.
