The First Men in the Moon
A pair of unlikely explorers journey to the moon in this imaginative tale of science and adventure from the author of The War of the Worlds
Hounded by creditors, Mr. Bedford retreats to a remote English village, where he meets the eccentric Mr. Cavor. Though he may not look it, Cavor is a genius and one of the world's greatest inventors. His breakthrough is cavorite, an astonishing new substance manufactured from helium that is not bound by the laws of gravity. Bedford immediately sees the business potential of Cavor's creation, reckoning a ship made of cavorite could take him the moon—the first step on a path to riches beyond his wildest dreams.
When Bedford and Cavor set out for the moon in a cavorite sphere, they find the Earth's satellite to be more wonderful than either of them ever imagined. But they soon discover they are not alone on the lush lunar surface—and the natives are not exactly friendly.
A thrilling adventure story that offers fascinating insights into the nature of mankind, The First Men in the Moon is a timeless classic from \"the father of modern science fiction.\"

The Martian: science fiction and science fact
The book and the film The Martian stand as a testament to the powerful synergy between art, science fiction and science. Written by Andy Weir, the book was turned into a blockbuster film by Fox Studios that wowed audiences and critics alike. To accomplish this visually stunning film, the collaboration between Director Ridley Scott’s production team and the NASA Mars team with other key consultants delivered an unforgettable cinematic masterpiece, one that not only entertained but also inspired audiences to dream big and embrace the spirit of exploration that drives humanity’s quest for knowledge about space and Mars. The Martian captivates audiences with its breathtaking Mars landscape visuals and realistic portrayal of space exploration. It strikes a perfect balance between science and storytelling, grounding its depiction of Mars and the challenges faced by astronauts in, mostly, scientific reality. The film’s reasonably accurate portrayal of Mars, supported by collaboration with NASA, adds to its authenticity and appeal.

The Old Man and the Moon
The night was even darker without the moon lighting up the sky, but it shone brightly in my arms and I had to squint against the glow to see where the old man was taking me. The house was small and cramped but well-loved, filled with soft-cushioned chairs, antique rugs worn out in the middle, and black and white framed photos of the couple. The old man stayed with her body and the moon, combing her hair and massaging the water into her arms and hands. [...]he collected his wife in his arms and brought her into their bedroom to re-dress her in clean clothes.

From the earth to the moon

Jules Verne's prophetic fantasy unfolds at the close of the Civil War, as three artillerymen resolve to build a gun big enough to propel a manned rocket to the moon. This edition features an excellent translation by Verne's foremost interpreter, Edward Roth, and 17 illustrations from the original publication\"-- Provided by publisher.

Step Into the Free and Infinite Laboratory of the Mind
Aliens! Killer robots! Spaceships! For a long time, Finn saw science fiction stories in a fairly conventional way--as a touchstone or a starting point for a conversation about a topic such as artificial intelligence (Terminator or I, Robot) or genetic engineering (Gattaca or Frankenstein). These stories act as a kind of collective shorthand, one that gets a crowd on the same page before conversation turns to the \"real\" challenges facing society. That was before the future became his job. When he founded the Center for Science and the Imagination (CSI) at Arizona State University in 2012, he began to understand science fiction as part of an important feedback loop with real scientific and technological innovation. Science fiction and science are both engaged in exploring the adjacent possible: the worlds many might be able to reach from their present configuration of science and society. Writers and researchers scour the literature, looking for ideas that might be combined or extended in novel ways, and both groups are in the business of creating new stories or new concepts that might change the world.
