“H.G. Wells' Astounding Adventure in Dynamation!”

AdventureScience Fiction

The world is delighted when a spacecraft containing a crew comprised of the world's astronauts lands on the moon, but are shocked when the astronauts discover an old British flag and a document declaring that the moon is taken for Queen Victoria, proving that the astronauts were not the first men on the moon.

VIBE

A delightful, old-fashioned romp through space. It feels like a charmingly earnest, Saturday matinee adventure, full of wonder and a touch of whimsical British eccentricity. Perfect for a cozy afternoon escape.
