     From: 1903, Jules Verne, translated by 魯迅 [Lu Xun], 《月界旅行》 , chapter 8

     Jù cǐ tuī zhī, dāng bì yǒu yǐ dàn wéi chē zhī yī rì. Jí ěrshí, zé zhū huòxīng yǔ dìqiú shàng tōngxìn zhī fǎ, shèn yì chǔzhì le.

     Well, the projectile is the vehicle of the future, and the planets themselves are nothing else!
     If you extrapolate based on this, there must be a day when the projectile is a vehicle. At that time, transportation between the planets and earth will be very easy to deal with.

   • 我們地球本身是一顆惑星，用極快的速度在天空裡行動；如在中途遇着這樣的事變，也是說不定的。 [MSC, trad.]
