From The Earth To The Moon, Version 2

From the Earth to the Moon, Version 2

by Jules Verne

In Jules Verne's satirical tale, a group of Americans embark on a grand and audacious plan to launch a cannonball to the moon. They construct a colossal cannon, the 'Columbiad,' and meticulously prepare for the launch, all while the author pokes fun at American eccentricity and ambition. However, a twist in the tale occurs when a determined Frenchman arrives, intent on hitching a ride inside the projectile, disrupting the meticulously planned endeavor.
