Summary

Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky: Science of the future

Russian scientist, pioneer of space research, founder of modern rocket technology!
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was born in 1887. When he was nine years old, he became almost completely deaf and was educated mostly at home. Later, as a teacher, he taught in high school until his retirement in 1920. In the mid-eighties of the XIX century, Tsiolkovsky began his research related to flying.

In the twenties of the XX century, he elaborated in detail the theory of a multi-stage jet-powered rocket. In 1918, he became a member of the Soviet Academy.

Tsiolkovsky was carried away by the idea of space flight from his youth. They say that at least part of the credit for that goes to Verne's book ``A Trip to the Moon'', which Tsiolkovski read as a boy. Later, this combination of a boy who dreams of traveling to the stars and a scientist who thinks according to physical laws led to the theory of rocket motion. At the time when aviation was just being born, Tsiolkovsky was already ``wandering through space'' - he proposed the project of a multi-stage rocket with liquid fuel, gyroscopic stabilization of the aircraft, the construction of ``artificial islands'' in the Earth's orbit from which to move into deep space, etc., etc., he actually laid the foundations of modern rocket technology and the science of flight into space.

Tsiolkovski offered these ideas in the form of a discussion to a scientific magazine in 1903, however the editor of the magazine did not think that the discussion was worth printing and it would not be published until 1929.

Among others, this sentence of the great visionary is remembered: ``The earth is the cradle of humanity, but man cannot stay in the cradle forever.''
One large crater on the moon, 180 km in diameter, is named Tsiolkovsky.
