On the Moon

The early 20th century—an age of scientific discoveries. Astronomers from the Pulkovo Observatory searched Mars for signs of life, and Tsiolkovsky worked on calculations for the shortest path to a flight to the Moon. Doctors invented elixirs of immortality, and physicists debated how to extract energy from the sun. Romantic dreams and philosophers’ arguments, journeys into the distant future and parallel universes, phenomenal misconceptions and incredible adventures—everything in the literary experiments of the first Russian science-fiction writers.

How about that, Elon Musk?
