Explanation:
In 1865 Jules Verne predicted the invention of a space capsule that
could carry people.
In his science fiction story
"From the Earth to the Moon", he outlined his vision of
a cannon in Florida so powerful that it could shoot a
"Projectile-Vehicle" carrying three adventurers
to the Moon.
Over 100 years later,
NASA, guided by
Wernher Von Braun's vision, produced the
Saturn V rocket.
From a
spaceport in Florida,
this rocket turned Verne's fiction into fact,
launching 9 Apollo Lunar missions and
allowing 12 astronauts to walk on the Moon.
Pictured is the last moon shot,
Apollo 17, awaiting a night launch in December of 1972.
Spotlights play on the rocket and launch pad
while the full Moon looms
in the background.
Humans have not
walked on on the lunar surface
since.
