De reis naar de maan in 28 dagen en 12 uren

Verne's imagination was ahead of his time, but I'm curious about what real-world ideas or events sparked his vision of sending humans to the Moon.

The enthusiasm for engineering and ballistics was infectious, but some of the ideas seem so outdated now. Did that take you out of the story or add to its charm?

Verne’s sense of wonder and daring set a precedent for countless space stories. Do you see his influence in your favorite sci-fi works today?
