Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gun Club is bored. With the Civil War over, these illustrious cannon-makers have nothing to do with their time, and they're kind of freaking out. Luckily, President Barbicane-head of the club-comes to the rescue. He suggests that they build a giant cannon, so powerful that it can launch a shot straight to the moon. This news is met with wild celebrations from both the Gun Club and the public at large. But excitement is the easy part; now they have to figure out how to actually get it done. After speaking to experts at the Cambridge Observatory, the Gun Club decides to launch the shot the following December from a spot near the equator. That only gives them two options within the U.S.-Florida and Texas. After a fierce competition, Florida wins out. The Gun Club relocates to Tampa to begin production, and things are going swell. Out of the blue, Barbicane receives a telegram from a Frenchman named Michel Ardan who wants to take a ride inside their moon-bound cannonball. The kid's got guts, we'll give him that. After altering the design to meet Ardan's requests, Barbicane agrees and the wild celebrations start anew.

Book excerpt: About BookVerne's 1865 tale of a trip to the moon is (as you'd expect from Verne) great fun, even if bits of it now seem, in retrospect, a little strange. Our rocket ship gets shot out of a cannon? To the moon? Goodness! But in other ways it's full of eerie bits of business that turned out to be very near reality: he had the cost, when you adjust for inflation, almost exactly right. There are other similarities, too. Verne's cannon was named the Columbiad; the Apollo 11 command module was named Columbia. Apollo 11 had a three-person crew, just as Verne's did; and both blasted off from the American state of Florida. Even the return to earth happened in more-or-less the same place. Coincidence -- or fact!? We say you'll have to read this story yourself to judge.

Book excerpt: For most of his career, Verne strongly advocated the study of science, sharing the nineteenth centurys optimism about technological progress. Early novels such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1872), From the Earth to the Moon, and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1873) illustrate his attitudes and artistic practices. He called these novels voyages extraordinaires. Some later ones fell into that category as well, but he demonstrated a growing distrust of science. Although critics have recognized the importance of the novels as science fiction, they have often claimed that Verne relied too heavily on conventions of the adventure or travel story. Verne based his novels on possible or probable developments of present or near-future science, emphasizing realism through exact description. He set his characters in a particular time and place, put them in confrontation with physical nature, and dramatized their responses in the form of a journey or quest. With the exception of Captain Nemo in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, his characters were recognizable types such as the scientist, the professor, or the adventurer. He subordinated them to the surroundings or circumstances that science had created for human action. The journeys of his characters to the Moon, to the center of the earth, to the bottom of the sea, or to the far reaches of the solar system conveyed the wonder and excitement of scientific discovery. Verne's characters embodied practicality, independence, tenacity, energy, and wonder, strengthening them against obstacles of nature. Working outside institutions, Barbicane and Ardan solved one problem after another to achieve spaceflight.

This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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: Written almost a century before the daring flights of the astronauts, Jules Verne's prophetic novel of man's race to the stars is a classic adventure tale enlivened by broad satire and scientific acumen.

Perhaps after a short rise it had fallen upon the earth, or even in the Gulf of Mexico--a fall which the narrowness of the peninsula of Florida would render not impossible. The case was serious, the problem interesting, and one that must be solved as soon as possible. Thus, highly excited, Barbicane's moral energy triumphed over physical weakness, and he rose to his feet. He listened. Outside was perfect silence; but the thick padding was enough to intercept all sounds coming from the earth. But one circumstance struck Barbicane, viz., that the temperature inside the projectile was singularly high. The president drew a thermometer from its case, and consulted it. The instrument showed 81 Fahr. "Yes," he exclaimed, "yes, we are moving! This stifling heat, penetrating through the partitions of the projectile, is produced by its friction on the atmospheric strata. It will soon diminish, because we are already floating in space, and after having been nearly stifled, we shall have to suffer intense cold. "What!" said Michael Ardan. "According to your showing, Barbicane, we are already beyond the limits of the terrestrial atmosphere?" "Without a doubt, Michel. Listen to me. It is fifty-five minutes past ten; we have been gone about eight minutes; and if our initiatory speed has not been checked by the friction, six seconds would be enough for us to pass through the forty miles of atmosphere which surrounds the globe." "Just so," replied Nicholl; "but in what proportion do you estimate the diminution of speed by friction?" "In the proportion of one-third, Nicholl. This diminution is considerable, but according to my calculations it is nothing less....
