• Great work! I won't review this nomination as I don't think I can be neutral considering my work on Mars in fiction, but you could try to construct a hook around the use of an "aeroplane" to get to Mars in Unveiling a Parallel (see e.g. Crossley, p. 94 and the "Two Women of the West" entry in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction).

  Thanks TompaDompa, an interesting idea! I'm still pondering it; according to the OED, aeroplane with this meaning was first used in 1868 (supplanting an earlier use meaning "lifting surface"), and a study by Svante Stubelius traces its use from 1873: [3], but "an early use of the word" would still be fine, even if the SFE's "very early appearance of the word in English" is a bit exaggerated. —Kusma (talk) 08:22, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
