Brick Moon Space Station Concept, 1869. Creator: NASA

Brick Moon Space Station Concept, 1869. Artists impression. " The Brick Moon" was the title of an article published in the Atlantic Monthly by Edward Everett Hale in 1869. This piece was the first known proposal for an Earth-orbiting satellite. Hale envisioned that the satellite could be used by mariners as a navigational aid. He believed it would be the longitudinal companion to the latitudinal North Star. In 1869, this story was considered fantasy but in retrospect " The Brick Moon" foreshadowed the need for a space station and some of its technologies
