From the Earth to the Moon

I went to Barnes and Noble and got the book From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne, who is originally form France. He is the author of 20,000 Leagues under the Sea, which is a very famous science fiction book that won many awards. My book is about man's first flight to the moon. Mr. Verne died in 1905, so he was around far before space travel was considered remotely possible. This book was written before the Wright brothers' first flight. This book is a true masterpiece because Mr. Verne accurately predicts that the launch will take place in Florida and that three men will travel into orbit and then to the moon in a small capsule. He even approximated the necessary velocity and gravitational pull.
