Summary
:
For as long as Man has looked to the heavens, the Moon has beckoned him, just out of reach. Now a band of dedicated engineers build the largest gun on Earth and train its sights heavenward; brave men will ride the "bullet" all the way to the Moon. But will the flight be jeopardized by the feud of two bitter rivals? Every obstacle can be overcome - if man can overcome his own worst impulses! From the Earth to the Moon is Jules Verne’s prophetic vision of man’s drive to conquer the solar system.
