The book explores the ambitious project of the Baltimore Gun Club, which aims to launch a projectile to the moon using advances in artillery science. The main character, Impey Barbicane, serves as the president of the Gun Club and drives the narrative as he proposes this grand experiment, igniting excitement and debate among members and the public. The opening of the book introduces the aftermath of the American Civil War, during which the Gun Club was founded, showcasing the members' skills in artillery invention and their dissatisfaction with a peacetime existence. As they languish in inactivity, Barbicane proposes the audacious idea of sending a projectile to the moon, appealing to both the club’s inventive spirit and the American public’s thirst for adventure. The ensuing excitement amongst the members sets the stage for a series of calculations and preparations that will follow, building anticipation for the ultimate test of human ingenuity and ambition.
