In Jules Verne's prophetic From the Earth to the Moon and its sequel, Round the Moon, the Gun Club, idle after the end of the US Civil War, aim to make a cannon capable of launching a missile to the moon.

Verne's launch of three men in aluminum capsule from Florida and splash down in the Pacific Ocean predates the actual Apollo journeys by nearly exactly one century.
