In "A Trip to the Moon", a 1902 film by Georges Méliès that I discussed with my students yesterday, the space travellers fly to the moon with a rocket carrying a passenger lander. That anticipates the form of the Apollo 11 landing on the moon with a rocket and a lander. Another part of the Apollo program is also anticipated in the film: As with the photograph of earthrise taken by William Anders from lunar orbit on 24 December 1968, the film's explorers also marvel at earthrise while they are on the moon's surface. But unlike the film's lander, the Apollo 11 lander didn't poke a hole in the moon's eye. (Andrew Shields, #111words, 5 March 2026)
