heavens and into the space. It is stated that in order to escape Earth’s gravitational pull, one must travel with velocity of 11.2km/s and is also known as the ‘escape velocity. Which is why in this exploration, I am going to explore and research on Tsiolkovsky rocket equation to discover what it takes travel into outer space and to our moon by observing the Saturn V’s ideal velocity during when it first took Neil Armstrong onto the moon and whether or not it takes that much speed in order to escape Earth’s
not work alone, he was also in partnership with a Russian theorist named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. Tsiolkovsky was born on September 7, 1857. As a child Tsiolkovsky educated himself and rose to become a High School teacher of mathematics in the small town of Kaluga, 145km (90mi) south of Moscow. In his early years Tsiolkovsky caught scarlet fever and became 80% deaf. Together, the theoretical work of Russian Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and the experimental work of American Robert Gossard, confirmed that a
One of the first devices to successfully employ the principles essential to rocket flight was a wooden bird. Natalie Wood en shuttlecock. The writings of Aulus Gellius, a Roman, tell a story floor of a Greek named Archytas who lived in the city of Tarentum, now a part of southern Italy. Somewhere around the year class 400 B.C., Archytas mystified and amused the citizens of Tarentum by flying a pigeon made shuffling of wood. Escaping steam propelled the bird suspended on wires. The pigeon used the
Originally, the rocket was primarily used by the Chinese for ceremonial and military purposes. Finally, after years of experimenting, a rocket powerful enough to overcome the force of gravity was developed. The rocket was created in Russia, by Konstantin Tsiolkovsky; in the United States, by Robert Goddard; and in Germany, by Hermann Oberth. This then lead to the first man to actually go into space, Alan Shepard. Not only was he the first man in space, he was one of seven men who were NASA’s first astronauts
1. Introduction Since the start of the space race in 1957 against the Soviet Union, space projects have been developing new discoveries allowing us to implement each project with improvements. With these advancements, it has transformed our understanding of science and space exploration. Thus, society began to wonder whether the space shuttles are ever going to get to a point where they will begin space tourism. With high demand for citizens to enter into space, many people have come up with theories

When I was brought into this world, on a dreary November night, I did not know it at the time, but I was immediately abandoned. Victor Frankenstein created me in his image, yet he found me vulgar. He used the finest parts of man he could find to create me, yet he found me inhuman. I was supposed to be beautiful, but indeed I am wretched. When I finally had the compacity to think and feel, I learned that no one in this world would ever sympathize with someone as gory as me. Frankenstein was the only
In 400 BC, an ancient Greek philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, statesman, and strategist named Archytas created the first-ever self propelled flying device known as the Flying Pigeon. Archytas was born and raised in Tarentum, Magna Graecia, which is modern day Southern Italy. He amazed the citizens of the city with a wooden pigeon that uses steam to propel itself several hundred meters. This invention was tied to Newton’s Third Law, “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”
Wernher von Braun once said, “It [the rocket] will free man from his remaining chains, the chains of gravity which still tie him to this planet. It will open to him the gates of heaven.” Ever since humans have been looking up at the sky, they have been dreaming of ways to find out what exists up in space. Now, with the technology we have today, we can find out information about what exists in our universe thanks to rockets. Rockets have evolved greatly since humans have tried to figure out how to
The Hubble Telescope is a low-orbit telescope in the high Earth atmosphere. The fathers of modern rocketry, Hermann Oberth, Robert Goddard, and Konstantin Tsiolkovsky published The Rocket into Planetary Space, in 1923, which mentioned sending a telescope to space for one of the first times in history. The purpose of the telescope was to provide sharper images for astronomers to study. While much larger telescopes reside on Earth, the pictures that the Hubble Telescope sends back are much better because
USSR and Communism lost, but far more important results came out of this competition instead. Development of Sputnik The idea that a satellite could be put into orbit around the Earth was introduced to the scientific community in 1903. Konstantin Tsiolkovsky showed that this could be done, but his work was all mathematical. In 1948, another Russian named Mikhail Tikhonravov talked to the famed scientist Sergei Korolev about turning this theory into an actual working device. Tikhonravov presented
Trends of Contemporary Russian Thought (1) ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on the most recent period in the development of Russian thought (1960s-1990s). Proceeding from the cyclical patterns of Russian intellectual history, I propose to name it 'the third philosophical awakening.' I define the main tendency of this period as 'the struggle of thought against ideocracy.' I then suggest a classification of main trends in Russian thought of this period: (1) Dialectical materialism in its evolution
