From the Earth to the Moon

"From the Earth to the Moon" is a narrative by Jules Verne about the ambitious 19th-century American projectile's mission. It details how a group of engineers and enthusiasts decide to send a projectile, launched from a giant cannon in Florida, toward the Moon. The story explores the technical challenges, scientific principles, and human determination involved. While it predates modern space travel, it reflects early imagination about human exploration beyond Earth and emphasizes ingenuity, perseverance, and the spirit of adventure in pursuing these unprecedented journeys.
