Synopsis
The Brick Moon is written as if it were a journal. It describes the construction and launch into orbit of a sphere, 200 ft. in diameter, built of bricks. It is intended as a navigational aid, but is accidentally launched with people aboard. It thus also provides the first known fictional description of a space station.References
