About this book
In the years after the Civil War, the Baltimore Gun Club seeks a new challenge. Its members turn their skills with artillery toward space. They plan to fire a projectile at the moon. Engineers and scientists join the effort. They calculate distances and build a huge cannon. Debates arise over materials and angles of fire. The novel describes their work step by step. It presents the technical problems they face and the solutions they devise. Verne mixes real astronomy with the club's scheme.
