'A Columbus of Space' is a glorious story of adventure on Venus, published in 1909 and written by Garrett P. Serviss. This is first story ever reported about an atomic powered spacecraft. It is an precarious thriller written at a time when Venus was still doubted to only show one hemisphere to the Sun and Venusian life was still regard to be possible. The heroes of this, were in the middle of the cosmos, they were amazed when they saw the Earth. He is the first to take edge to the power of inter-atomic energy, which allows him to steer the Ocean of Ether and sale to the beaches of another world than ours. He builds a curious spool-shaped machine and sets sail into space, arriving with his companion on the planet Venus. Courageous travellers from each journey to the planet Venus, which always has one side facing the Sun. The night side is a frozen polar wasteland occupied by Neanderthal like humanoids, while the light side has an advanced, Greco-Roman classical type civilization. This is a tour to Venus on a craft that can travel a superb speed and is charged by something that sounds perhaps nuclear.
