The History of Sci-Fi: Somnium (1634)

Somnium is considered the first science fiction novel in history. Johannes Kepler’s book describes how a student of astronomer Tycho Brahe is transported to the moon. Additionally, it is the first scientific examination of lunar astronomy. The book is the first known piece of science fiction. Who would have thought it would lead to a TV channel?
