1893 — Syphony No. 9 Antonin Dvorak
Dvorak’s composition was one of the recordings Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins (Apollo 11 Astronauts) took on the Voyage to the Moon.
It is better to see the destination, than the point of departure.” — Jules Verne
From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon, a film made in 1902 was the first motion picture interpretation of Jules Verne’s timeless story. Until then, readers were visually aroused by Verne’s descriptive writing, and detailed, first-edition (186) engravings by Henri de Montaut, the accomplished French artist.
Émile-Antoine Bayard was the artist whose detailed woodcuts illustrated Jules Verne‘s “From the Earth to the Moon,” published in 1865.
One Small Step For Man, One Giant Leap For Mankind.”
— Neil Armstrong
July 20, 1969 — Apollo 11 Commander Neil Armstrong leaves the first human footprint on the Moon … an impression that will last forever in the vacuum of space.

John F. Kennedy — “We Choose To Go To The Moon.”
Ray Charles — “Hit The Road Jack.”
“Fly Me to the Moon,” originally titled “In Other Words,” is a song written in 1954 by Bart Howard. The first recording was made that year by Kaye Ballard. Frank Sinatra‘s 1964 version was closely associated with the Apollo missions to the Moon.
In 1999, the Songwriters Hall of Fame honored “Fly Me to the Moon” by inducting it as a “Towering Song.”
Brothers In Time And Space
In time, Jules Verne and Carl Sagan lived a century apart, and in space, they were worlds away. No matter their differences, both similarly spent much of their time on Earth imagining what lived beyond what the eye could see.
