A Brief History of Space Travel In Science Fiction

But the gay frogs are making the earth flat :(

From where I am only boys are interested in space travel and other planets

Too many ads

The insect-like Celenites are pulled straight from H.G. Well's book of two men going to the moon (in an anti-grav sphere), which was inspired by Poe's moon-travel story (in a balloon).

did you know there are no women on the moon

Dude, so good to see some people young like you Dig the classics and understand these old Sci-fi stuff... keep up the good work.

Have you ever thought about joining the Church of Satan

Humans landed on the Moon in the nicest year!

Science Fiction inspired Scientists.

I am sorry, Science Fiction was a novel genre before a movie genre. You did not mention Science Fiction Literature at all in the beginning

this channel is a gem

'please joe rogan fans save it. just... save it.'

😂😂

More specifically, Selene was the Mycenaean moon goddess. By the Hellenic period, she'd been replaced by Artemis, goddess of asexuals, tomboys, hunting, and the untamed wilderness.

A comment for the numbers brother

Oh my god, make longer videos. This is TV now

I’ve never seen you mention the vorkosigan saga in any of your videos you’re a knowledgeable man when it comes to sci fi so I know I can’t be introducing them to you but great books great books, tied for most best novel Hugo’s with Heinlein the author is, if you don’t count retroactive awards

No mention of the 1600's story a Mannheim Steamroller Album is based upon of a explorer of the era going to another planet?

"One of these days bang! zoom! straight to the moon!"

Wait, that's not an astonaught, thats a comedian, and he using space travel as a mataphor for <redacted> 🤔

You can't conquer something without beating it into submission or dominating it in one way or another. Sorry to break it to ya, but thems is the breaks.

There is no space....





There is only Zuul!👹

I always preferred the Stanley Kubrick version of Trip to the Moon

Lots of new information to let your imagination run wild with this video Thanks!! 🙏

Quinn - I thought this was super cool.

Perhaps in the 4th dimension

Please, make em hours long, you'll get no objections

well done! Your voice is soothing and your intonation and reading style makes it very easy to listen to this while editing some photos. You should start a podcast or consider a VA career.

Awesome Vid Quinn.

Plz cover trip to the moon if you want. That's content i would watch the sh*t out of.

these indian text really give me the creeps, it may be is not the 1st time humanity have reached the curent level of technology

The mention of the Ramayana reminds me of 'Lord of Light' by Roger Zelazny. Well worth reading I think.

Not mentioning Stargate is a crime

"if you are a joe rogan fan just dont" how brainwashed by mainstream medias are you to believe joe rogan think the moon landing is a hoax? stfu next time.

Joe Rogan is a god Quinn. Do you dare challenge a God!

Lol Rogan hasn't been on "that" side of the faked moon landing theory for YEARS.

Quinn, have you done any episodes devoted to Ursula K. Le Guin's novels and short stories. I'd be particularly interested to know what you think of The Word for World Is Forest, The Left Hand of Darkness, The Dispossessed, The Telling, and Five Ways to Forgiveness.

The Christian bible portrays space travel, as well. Though, its possible that story was lifted from earlier Akkadian and maybe even Sumerian stories.

This was a very well-researched video. You're an erudite bloke, Quinn.

As a fan of you and your content, I must point out that Joe Rogan is not a moon landing denier and I was a little off put by the assumption that he or his fans would be

Have you read The Star of Life by Edmond Hamilton? It's absolutely fantastic!

Again, well done!

Woooaaaah easy with the Joe Rogan attack. Rogan isn't Alex Jones, big difference.

No mention of voyage to arcturus? Fail

Great video! I'm curious to know where you got the images of Lucian's book from, because it's a Dutch translation from the 16th or 17th century. I never knew this translation existed and I'd like to read it (I am Dutch), even though the language is a bit old-fashioned. (I know some Latin too, but not enough to read the original)

I'm not sure if anyone has told you your patreon list has some duplicate names in it just a heads up love your stufd

I think you missed the best space travel method: in his book États et Empire de la Lune (1657), Cyrano de Bergerac (the real one) explains he managed to fly to the moon by... attaching bottles of wine around his belt. Wine elevating the mind, more wine elevated the body. Obviously.

Otherwise, a very interesting video. I just discovered your channel, and I have to say I really enjoy it!

Thank you Quinn. You complete me.
