[Madam Broshkina]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:


The Brick Moon is a short story by Edward Everett Hale, published serially in The Atlantic Monthly starting in 1869. It is a work of speculative fiction containing the first known depiction of an artificial satellite.


The Brick Moon is written as if it were a journal. It describes the construction and launch into orbit of a sphere, 200 ft. in diameter, built of bricks. It is intended as a navigational aid, but is accidentally launched with people aboard. It thus also provides the first known fictional description of a space station.
