Summary:
Jules Verne takes aim at some amusing stereotypes of Americans in this story of a pre-rocketry attempt to shoot a cannonball to the Moon. Those Yankees don’t do anything by halves!
His means is a Columbiad cannon so enormous that it must be bored 900 feet into the ground, so immense that 1200 smelting furnaces would be needed to create the iron for its casting, so stupendous that 100 tons of guncotton would be needed to loft its cannonball heavenwards.
The journey must be watched from the tallest peak of the Rocky Mountains through a new telescope with a reflector measuring 16 feet in diameter and a tube reaching skyward 280 feet.
And then - a simple telegram upsets all the preparations. An unknown Frenchman has taken ship and is on the way. And he has firmly decided that he will ride inside the projectile! - Summary by Mark F. Smith

One of my fav Vernes! 🤗
Enjoy!
Wonderful enunciation thank you Chip. And big thanks to Jules Vern the "father of science fiction",
Indeed, the narrational exhibition in this reading renders remarkable resonance to the telling of the tale.
I read this book first time in 1965 when I was just a kid. Four years later indeed people landed on the moon. I thought in few years we will be on Mars, by the end of the century reaching Proxima Centaury. I really believed that.
dawg this saved me from getting a F on a novel study thanks
Thank you very much, loved this - going for a sequel now.
Thank you for posting the reading 🌹🌹🌹
Visions of Future Past. An adventure movie in our imaginations! Thanks, Chip!

Some nerds in the government read the book and faked the moon landings accordingly.
Wow amazing "visionary"

Super voice variation 😊
Wish I could speak like that

The Americans hilariously declared war on the British in 1812 - and suffered the most embarrassing of military defeats at the hands of a small number of Scottish troops that entered North America from Canada! In 1975 the Americans would be beaten again - this time in Vietnam. Of course, the US suffered reversals in Korea - but did manage to 'fire' men to the Moon on a giant Missile in 1969!
how dumb people were back in those days and still are today!
