About this book

After the Civil War, the members of a Baltimore gun club, restless for a new challenge, resolve to build a colossal cannon capable of firing a manned projectile all the way to the Moon. With his trademark blend of scientific calculation, wit, and adventure, Verne imagines the engineering, the debates, and the daring volunteers who climb aboard, anticipating space travel a full century before it happened. Remarkably, he set his launch site in Florida and grappled with real problems of ballistics and escape velocity. Visionary and entertaining, From the Earth to the Moon is a landmark of science fiction whose prophetic imagination still astonishes readers in the age of actual spaceflight.
