"Roughly speaking, we're rather over 60,000 feet—say ten miles—from the surface of the Atlantic. That's why I asked Andrew whether everything was tight.

Description
One of the earliest works of science fiction, following a newly-married couple on an extraordinary voyage through the solar system in a private spacecraft. George Griffith's visionary 1901 novel imagines life on other planets with remarkable ambition — a fascinating window into Victorian scientific imagination.
