It tells the story of American weapon makers attempting to build an enormous space gun big enough to launch people onto the moon! According to Barron, this book is,
“the first interplanetary novel to focus on the technical and organizational preparations for the voyage, using the actual blast-off as a climax… one of the definitive foundation stones of the science fiction genre.”
