Foreword and review
Around 1860, there is a major scientific project. A group of artillerymen want to send a bullet to the moon. Barbicane is their president. He seeks advice from astronomers and raises a lot of money for the project. They build a huge cannon to shoot the ball to the moon. The cannon must be in a special place and shoot the ball very quickly. The bosses of the Gun Club and other scientists plan everything in detail. They decide to make the bullet out of aluminum. It should be large and heavy. They build the cannon out of iron and make it very long. They use a special type of powder to fire it. This enables the ball to fly as far as the moon. Once all the questions have been answered, President Barbicane chooses a location in Florida to build the cannon.
A bold artist from Paris wants to fly to the moon in a ball. His name is Michel Ardan. He wants to carry out research there. He is very popular in America. He wants to fly together with Barbicane.
Captain Nicholl wants to be part of it.
They change the sphere and make it more stable. You pack food, water and gas. A device provides fresh air. The Gun Club builds a large telescope to observe the sphere in space. Everything is ready for the launch.
They take off on November 30. Three people leave Earth and fly into space. The journey is expected to take almost 98 hours. They plan to arrive on the moon on December 5. After the ball is launched, an unexpected event occurs. The shock of the cannon causes a large amount of vapor in the air. This obscures the moon for some nights. The people are very angry because they can't see the moon. J.T. Maston, a friend of the travelers, goes to the Rocky Mountains. There he wants to observe his friends' journey with J. Belfast, the head of the observatory. Because of the clouds, they can't see anything from December 5 to 10. On December 11, a strong storm comes and blows the clouds away. Now they can see the moon again. That same night, they send a telegram. The telegram is for the observatory in Cambridge. It contains important news.
The telegram states that the projectile fired from the cannon was seen on December 11. It has deviated from the planned path and is now orbiting the moon.
The telegram also states that they do not yet know exactly what the path of the projectile is. They estimate that the projectile is about 2,833 miles from the moon.
The telegram says that there are two possibilities. Either the projectile is attracted to the moon and lands there, or it orbits the moon forever. People wonder how the travelers are doing. They have food for a while. But it is unclear whether they can come back or whether you can get news from them. Many people are very interested in these questions.
When someone makes a scientific discovery, they have to be careful. You can't be too quick to claim something. If you are wrong, you can make a fool of yourself. J.T. Maston sent the telegram too early. He thought he had seen the projectile. But that is a mistake. The telegram has two errors. Firstly, the distance from the projectile to the moon is not correct. Secondly, the idea that the projectile orbits the moon is wrong.
The story of the travelers in the projectile is exciting. It shows what is scientifically possible.
Chapter One
Michel Ardan, Barbicane, and Nicholl say goodbye to their friends on Earth at ten o'clock. Two dogs are already in the projectile. The three travelers walk to the large barrel of the cannon. A crane lifts them to the top of the sphere.
There they go through an opening into the projectile. Once they are inside, the opening is sealed with a plate. It is completely dark in their metal prison.
Michel Ardan says, "We make ourselves comfortable here. I will take care of everything inside. We need some air now." Then he lights a light. That provides light and warmth for six days and nights.
The projectile looks like a cozy room. The walls are soft and there are round sofas. Everything is well fixed so that it can withstand the launch. They've thought of everything. Michel Ardan looks at everything and is very satisfied.
Michel Ardan says that the projectile is like a prison, but you can see out of the window. He would even stay here for a hundred years. He asks Barbicane if he thinks the projectile could be their grave. But Michel Ardan doesn't think that is a bad thing. Meanwhile, Barbicane and Nicholl are making the final preparations. It is ten twenty minutes in the evening. They have 27 minutes left on Earth. Nicholl says it's exactly 26 minutes and 30 seconds.
Michel Ardan is in a good mood. He says you can still do a lot in 26 minutes. You can discuss and resolve important issues. He says that a few seconds from clever people are more valuable than many years from stupid people.
Barbicane says they should prepare for the start. Michel Ardan asks if everything is ready. Barbicane says they are ready. But they still have to watch out for the first push at the start. Michel Ardan is surprised. Barbicane is not entirely sure that everything will go well. He would like to run away, but he can't. You only have twenty minutes left. They look at the things in the projectile. Then they discuss how they should sit in order to withstand the impact. They want to prevent the blood from rushing to their heads.
Michel Ardan suggests that they should lie down with their heads down and their feet up. But Barbicane says they should lie on their sides. This is better to withstand the impact at the start. Barbicane and Nicholl make their final preparations very quietly. They are like travelers making themselves comfortable on a train. It is amazing how calm these Americans are, even when they are in great danger. The projectile contains three thick, soft padded berths. Nicholl and Barbicane place them in the middle of the floor. That's where they should lie down just before the start. Michel Ardan is in the narrow projectile and can't sit still. He talks to his friends and his dogs, Diana and Trabant. He has recently given them these names. He tells the dogs to show the moon how good earth dogs behave. He hopes that they will mate with moon dogs so that he can bring home a special mixed breed.
Barbicane says there may not be any dogs on the moon. But Michel Ardan believes that there are also horses, cows, donkeys and chickens. He bets that they will find chickens on the moon. Nicholl bets a hundred dollars against it. Michel Ardan accepts the bet.
Nicholl says it's ten forty-two. Barbicane says they have over five minutes left. Michel Ardan says they are in a projectile in a giant cannon. Underneath them are 400,000 pounds of gun cotton. That's as powerful as 1.6 million pounds of regular powder.
Murchison counts the seconds.
Barbicane tells them to get ready.
