From the Earth to the Moon

Often referred to as “The Father of Science Fiction,” Jules Verne wrote many fanciful tales. But, in 1865, at the close of the Civil War, he wrote a forward-looking tale about space travel using surprisingly accurate calculations. The Baltimore Gun Club decides to build a giant cannon, large enough to launch a projectile all the way to the moon, and then, after a wager, decide to make it a manned mission. Can they make it happen as they struggle with their inner demons and an old enemy? Find out in this prophetic, classic story, told with wit and style.
