About This Intelligence
"Da terra à lua, viagem directa em 97 horas e 20 minutos" by Jules Verne is a novel published in 1865. It follows the Baltimore Gun Club, a society of post-Civil War weapons enthusiasts, as they attempt an audacious feat: building an enormous cannon to launch three men to the Moon. When a French adventurer volunteers for the journey, the Club's president and his rival join him aboard the projectile. Verne performed calculations that proved remarkably accurate for his time, though the story leaves the astronauts' fates unresolved until its sequel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
