But, truly, I have wept too much! The Dawns are
heartbreaking. Every moon is atrocious and every
sun bitter.

Georges Mlis, Le voyage dans la
Lune (Trip to the Moon)
A Trip to the Moon (French: Le Voyage dans la
lune) is a 1902 French black-and-white silent
science fiction film. It is based loosely on two
popular novels of the time: From the Earth to the
Moon by Jules Verne and The First Men in the Moon
by H. G. Wells.
The film was written and directed by Georges
Mlis, assisted by his brother Gaston. The film
runs 14 minutes if projected at 16 frames per
second, which was the standard frame rate at

the time the film was produced. It was extremely
popular at the time of its release, and is the best-
known of the hundreds of fantasy films made by
Mlis.
A Trip to the Moon is the first science fiction film,
and uses innovative animation and special effects,
including the well-known image of the spaceship
landing in the moon's eye.

-technical name Aggregat-4 (A4)-
The V-2 Rocket, was a ballistic missile that was
developed at the beginning of the Second World
War in Germany, specifically targeted at London
and later Antwerp. The liquid-propellant rocket
was the world's first long-range combat-ballistic
missile and first known non-human-piloted artifact
to achieve sub-orbital spaceflight. It was the
progenitor of all modern rockets, including those
used by the United States and Soviet Union's space
programs.

During the aftermath of World War II the
American, Soviet and British governments all
gained access to the V-2's technical designs and
the actual German scientists responsible for
creating the rockets, via Operation Paperclip,
Operation Osoaviakhim and Operation Backfire.

The weapon was presented by Nazi propaganda as
a retaliation for the bombers that attacked ever
more German cities from 1942 until the end of the
war.
Over 3,000 V-2s were launched as military rockets
by the German Wehrmacht against Allied targets
during the war, mostly London and later Antwerp.
The attacks resulted in the death of an estimated
7,250 military personnel and civilians, while
12,000 forced labourers were killed producing the
weapons.
