PROPHETS OF SCIENCE FICTION, a film on the greatest predictions of Jules
Verne and HG Wells rebroadasts on The Science Channel February 14th at 9PM
and February 17th at 7 PM.

The film reveals the the uncanny visions of science fiction's founding
fathers and shows how they inspired some of the most important inventions of
the Twentieth Century.

100 years before the Apollo program, Jules Verne foresaw the details of
America's moon launch with remarkable accuracy -- from the speed and weight
of the spacecraft to the location of the launch site in Florida. And
Verne's submarine, the Nautilus, inspired submarine designers for decades.

H.G. Wells gave us our first vision of hostile alien invaders and inspired
physicists to investigate time travel. Perhaps most remarkably, Wells
foresaw the future of war: predicting aerial bombing, the tank, and in 1913,
the atom bomb. Years later, Wells novel even helped physicist Leo Szilard
invent the bomb. The film includes interviews with noted physicists, science
fiction writers, and historians.

"Prophets of Science Fiction" is produced by Veriscope Pictures,
award-winning producers of history and science films.
