From the Earth to the Moon: resumo de Chapter 11
Chapter 11 de 51 · Part 1 · 6 min para ler o capítulo
In Chapter 11, the Gun Club narrows its launch site to southern Texas or Florida, setting off fierce competition between delegates and newspapers supporting each state. Barbicane chooses Tampa because Florida offers only one suitable town, avoiding another round of local rivalries, and authorities remove the furious Texans from Baltimore.
O que acontece
- At the October 20 meeting, Barbicane explains that the required latitude limits the American site to parts of Texas and Florida.
- Delegates arrive in Baltimore, lobby the Gun Club, and carry their rivalry into the streets.
- Newspapers debate population, resources, casting conditions, harbors, and each state's claim to American identity.
- Barbicane chooses Florida because its single eligible town avoids the competition that eleven eligible Texas towns would create.
- Authorities force the threatening Texans onto a special train, while the rival delegates exchange a final insult about Florida's strength.
