Book excerpt: From the Earth to the Moon; and, Round the Moon by Jules Verne From the Earth to the Moon is a science fiction novel written by Jules Verne and published in 1865. It follows members of the Baltimore Gun Club as they attempt to launch a manned expedition to the moon via a giant cannon. Much of the novel is devoted to the logistical challenges of raising money, building the cannon, and managing the mission. Verne's calculations and theories of space travel, while impractical, had some notable similarities to the later realities of manned space flight. Two sequels, Around the Moon and The Purchase of the North Pole, follow the new exploits of the Baltimore Gun Club. From the Earth to the Moon was part of the inspiration behind the first science fiction film, A Journey to the Moon by Georges Méliès and was referenced by Neil Armstrong in a statement made from the Apollo 11 module on his flight back to the earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "From the Earth to the Moon" is a novel written by Jules Verne in 1865. The novel is the story of an inventor named Barbicane, living after the end of the American Civil War who devises an enormous canon to shoot a bullet from to the moon from a small town in Florida. Many difficulties arrest the creation of the canon, as its gargantuan size requires an astronomical amount of money and time to build. Eventually, however, the canon is completed. Shortly before its completion, a French adventurer named Ardan arrives to say that he wishes to travel inside of the bullet to the moon. A hollow capsule is made in which the Frenchman can travel and Barbicane and his long time rival, Captain Nicholl decide to go with him on the journey in order to settle their rivalry. Unfortunately, the Barbicane's astronomic calculations are slightly off and the capsule ends up orbiting the moon instead of landing on it. In the end, the three would-be astronauts are left orbiting the moon with no sign if they will ever manage to land. The novel is one of Verne's most well-known works and is notable specifically for its early calculations for the requirements to the canon and their surprising realism, despite limited research on the moon at the time.

Book excerpt: From the Earth to the Moon (French: De la terre à la lune) is an 1865 novel by Jules Verne. It tells the story of the Baltimore Gun Club, a post-American Civil War society of weapons enthusiasts, and their attempts to build an enormous Columbiad space gun and launch three people-the Gun Club's president, his Philadelphian armor-making rival, and a French poet-in a projectile with the goal of a Moon landing.The story is also notable in that Verne attempted to do some rough calculations as to the requirements for the cannon and in that, considering the comparative lack of empirical data on the subject at the time, some of his figures are remarkably accurate. However, his scenario turned out to be impractical for safe manned space travel since a much longer barrel would have been required to reach escape velocity while limiting acceleration to survivable limits for the passengers.The character of Michel Ardan, the French member of the party in the novel, was inspired by the real-life photographer Félix Nadar.

Book excerpt: From the Earth to the Moon (French: De la Terre à la Lune, 1865) is a humorous science fantasy novel by Jules Verne and is one of the earliest entries in that genre. It tells the story of the president of a post-American Civil War gun club in Baltimore, his rival, a Philadelphia maker of armor, and a Frenchman, who builds an enormous sky-facing Columbiad space gun and launch themselves in a projectile/spaceship from it to a Moon landing.The story is also notable in that Verne attempted to do some rough calculations as to the requirements for the cannon and, considering the comparative lack of any data on the subject at the time, some of his figures are surprisingly close to reality. However, his scenario turned out to be impractical for safe manned space travel since a much longer muzzle would have been required to reach escape velocity while limiting acceleration to survivable limits for the passengers.Includes a Biography of the Author
