Doing some reading up on the moon trip, I see there are comments that the 97


hours  etc of the Earth to the Moon was remarkably close to the actual times


of some moon circumnavigations.



Do any of our space buffs have information on the duration of the moon


circumnavigations? I know there was one by the US and one by the russians,


but it may not have been manned. Such things as name of ship, course,


duration.



Incidentally I see that the longitude of Stones Hill is 5° 7' W. indicating


that Verne was familiar with the Meridian of Washington.
