Adam Walton sits down with Science Historian, Professor Iwan Rhys Morus, to discuss his new book ‘How the Victorians Took Us to the Moon’.

From Charles Babbage’s dream of mechanizing mathematics, to George’s Cayley’s fantasies of powered flight and Nikola Tesla’s visions of an electrical world, the book is a story of towering personalities, clashing ambitions, furious rivalries and conflicting cultures. A rich tapestry of remarkable lives that transformed the world beyond recognition and ultimately took mankind to the Moon.
