Perhaps the most famous representations of a space gun appear in Jules Verne's 1865 novel "From the Earth to the Moon" and his 1869 novel "Around the Moon" (loosely interpreted into the 1902 film "Le Voyage dans la Lune"), in which astronauts fly to the Moon aboard a ship launched from a cannon. Another famous example is used by the Martians to launch their invasion in H. G. Wells' 1897 book "The War of the Worlds". Wells also used the concept in the climax of the 1936 film "Things to Come". The device was featured in films as late as 1967, such as "Jules Verne's Rocket to the Moon".
