科幻小說如何啟發我們登上月球

The dream of spaceflight began long before rockets, taking root in centuries-old stories about traveling to the Moon. Tales like Godwin’s goose-powered lunar journey and Verne’s Florida moon launch planted seeds that inspired generations of inventors and scientists. These narratives shaped not just individual ambitions but an entire culture of space exploration. Stories can nurture passions that echo for centuries, fueling technological leaps and shaping humanity’s future.
