Based off of Jules Vern's "From Earth to the Moon" Nasa's picture of the day was a commemoration to a 14 minute French film by Georges Melies called "A trip to the Moon". The movie is from the year 1902, it seems that the great interest in going to the Moon has been around for quite a while. This image from the movie has become iconic symbol for both science fiction lovers and astronomers.
