The discussion of science fiction accounts of space travel is also very interesting. The best-known of these were the novels of French author Jules Verne whose popular books stimulated the interest in space. Verne included scientific facts in his stories which made them sound believable.
To a Distant Day contains some amazing facts and legends. A popular legend concerns Chinese mandarin Wan Hu who may have been the first human to ride a rocket in the sixteenth century. According to this theory, the universe was only an illusion and that a rocket fired from the west would only reach Australia or New Zealand because the earth was a hollow sphere. Chris Gainor, author of To a Distant Day , has written five books, including four on the history of space exploration.
