“This may have been the first time that anyone described space suits, air locks or the difficulties of landing on an asteroid or entering a planetary atmosphere. . . . This reprint will be of considerable interest to specialist scholars of science fiction.”—Publishers Weekly * Publishers Weekly *
“Dominic Alessio’s masterful introduction [is] a thoughtful, informative and exceptional piece of nonfiction. And it just happens to be absolutely fascinating reading—at once intelligent, informed, and accessible. Alessio places the work in context with other SF and utopian fiction of the time, whether predating it (as with Jules Verne’s account of a trip to the moon) or following it (he makes a good case for it influencing, directly or indirectly, several later and better known works). Anyone with even the faintest interest in early science fiction should find this essay quite valuable—and yes, enjoyable reading.”—Tales of the Talisman * Tales of the Talisman *
