| Summary |
"Die Reise zum Mars" by Hans Dominik is a science fiction narrative written in the early 20th century. The book explores humanity's aspirations to reach Mars, highlighting advancements in technology and exploration during a time when interplanetary travel was purely theoretical. It addresses the feasibility of colonization on Mars and the scientific endeavors surrounding this idea. The story begins in 2108, when scientists discover that Mars may harbor water and vegetation. Following the failed attempts of earlier expeditions, the main character, Dr. Alfred Müller, proposes a new method of space travel through innovative technology that reduces the effects of gravity. He partners with Monsieur Durand to secure funding for a mission to Mars, which ultimately culminates in a successful voyage. The duo's innovative spacecraft allows them to navigate through space and safely land on the Martian surface, where they encounter familiar forms of life. Their return to Earth sparks excitement for further exploration and the promise of regular travel between Earth and Mars, marking a significant achievement in human history.
