I don't even know where to begin with this insane peice of writing.
The book itself is fairly technical, as to the mechanics of accomplishing the journey to the moon, but I cannot stress how fantastically scary, fun and mind-boggling it is to see how close he got to how it would truly play out almost a century after he wrote this.
Keep in mind that when he wrote this, there wasn't even such a thing as an airforce, let alone a space program! However, he predicted or guessed mostly all the major aspects.
Compared to the actually moon launch, he got the location of the launch right, he got the cost of the project right (accounting for inflation), he got the size of the crew correct...he even got the material of the shuttle correct! He predicted that the capsule would be made of aluminium!!!! A meterial that is still used today for very much the same reasons as we're stated by him in the book.
It's all so fantastical. Almost seems like he's traveled back in time just to give us something to scratch our heads over.
Great read!

De la Tierra a la Luna es una novela de ciencia ficción escrita por Julio Verne y publicada en 1865. La historia narra el viaje de tres hombres a la Luna en un proyectil disparado por un cañón gigante.
La novela está repleta de detalles científicos y técnicos que la hacen muy realista para la época en que fue escrita. Verne se documentó exhaustivamente sobre el tema del viaje espacial y su descripción de la Luna es sorprendentemente precisa.
De la Tierra a la Luna es una obra pionera de la ciencia ficción. Es una novela emocionante y entretenida que sigue cautivando a lectores de todas las edades.
