Jules Verne was/is inspiring. I also recall enjoying From the Earth to the Moon and Around the Moon. Cryptonomicon felt like work but Snow Crash and The Diamond Age were breezy yet interesting and perspective-changing.
Remarkably, a spot in the close vicinity of Cape Canaveral was chosen by Jules Verne as the launch site for the moon travelers in his 1867 book From the Earth to the Moon.
>I'm sure that a century ago, space was just something we would never reach. Far from it! From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne was written in 1865, and was a reasonable attempt at hard sci-fi. More scientifically, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky published "Exploration of Cosmic Space by Means of Reaction Devices" in 1903,…
科幻在指引我们努力方向方面起着根本性的作用。比如，儒勒·凡尔纳的《从地球到月球》为阿波罗计划播下了种子。正如阿西莫夫的机器人定律为未来的 AI 发展播下了灵感种子一样。编辑：为了更好地说明我的观点，“Robert Manning 曾经用硬纸板制作……
Fiction plays a fundamental role in shaping the direction of our efforts. For instance, Jules Verne's "From the Earth to the Moon" planted the seed for the Apollo Program. As Asimov's work on the laws of robotics planted a seed to inspire future AI development. Edit: To better make my point, "Robert Manning used to make cardboard…
儒勒·凡尔纳的《从地球到月球》。考虑到它的出版年份，书中关于如何发射“火箭”（好吧，其实是炮弹）并最终被困在月球轨道（剧透了）的科学描述准确得惊人……

儒勒·凡尔纳过去和现在都让人深受启发。我还记得自己很喜欢《从地球到月球》和《环绕月球》。《编码宝典》（Cryptonomicon）读起来像在干苦力，但《雪崩》（Snow Crash）和《钻石时代》（The Diamond Age）读着既轻快有趣，又能改变认知视角。

令人惊叹的是，儒勒·凡尔纳在他 1867 年出版的小说《从地球到月球》中，选取的登月旅行者发射地点居然就在卡纳维拉尔角附近。

>我敢肯定在一个世纪前，太空还是我们绝不可能触及的领域。差得远呢！儒勒·凡尔纳的《从地球到月球》写于 1865 年，算得上是对硬科幻的一次相当靠谱的尝试。从更科学的角度看，康斯坦丁·齐奥尔科夫斯基在 1903 年发表了《利用反作用力设备探索宇宙空间》，……
