What if traveling to the Moon were possible long before rockets ever existed?

As the ambitious project captures the imagination of people around the world, brilliant inventors, daring adventurers, and determined dreamers come together to attempt what has never been done before. But can intelligence, courage, and determination overcome the enormous scientific and practical obstacles standing in their way?
