Reaction on A Trip to the Moon

A Trip to the Moon

From the title itself, the movie was about a group of astronomers planning to travel to the moon. These astronomers created a capsule-shaped spacecraft and that was the spacecraft they had used to travel.

If I was present during the first screening of the film, A Trip to the Moon, I think I would believe all the things that were shown on the film. This is because spacecraft was not yet invented that time and that people back was not really knowledgeable of what is really in the moon. The first ever spacecraft, the Sputnik 1, was developed on the year 1957 and the movie was first shown on the year 1902. So this might explain how the movie depicted the moon so different from that of reality and that there are creatures that dwells on the moon. The astronomers who went to the moon used a canon to fire the spacecraft they were using to the moon. We all know that during that time, their technology is not capable of creating a canon that can fire a spacecraft to the moon. Even until now, such canon does not exist. When they went outside the planet, they were not using oxygen to breathe. They were still not knowledgeable that when we go outside this planet, we will surely die because we need oxygen to survive. And at the last part of the movie, it was impossible for the spacecraft to land on earth just because it fell from a cliff. They had not used the idea of gravity.

I think that people before were really curious about the heavens so they wanted to go outside the earth that is why they had come up with an idea of spacecraft. I think that they really expected that they would see the heavens when they are up there.
