Summary
Britain won the moon race! Decades before Neal Armstrong took his "giant leap for mankind", two intrepid adventurers from Lympne, England, journeyed there using not a rocket, but an antigravity coating. Mr. Bedford, who narrates the tale, tells of how he fell in with eccentric inventor Mr. Cavor grew to believe in his researches, helped him build a sphere for traveling in space, and then partnered with him in an expedition to the moon. What they found was fantastic! There was not only air and water, but the moon was honeycombed with caverns and tunnels in which lived an advanced civilization of insect-like beings.
While Bedford is frightened by them and bolts home, Cavor stays and is treated with great respect. So why didn't Armstrong and later astronauts find the evidence of all this? Well, according to broadcasts by Cavor over the newly discovered radio technology, he told the Selenites too much about mankind, and apparently, they removed the welcome mat!

Just, ugh.
good story, but the plot is explained by the opening narrator, who bangs on for the first 10 minutes telling you every plot point before saying "but I don't want to spoil the story for you." Add the almost half asleep narration in the story, just get any other version and do yourself a favour
