Konstantin E. Tsiolkovski's Accomplishments

Buzz Aldrin, John Glenn, and Neil Armstrong have all made a huge impact on space exploration and astronomical advancements in the world. With the help of these three men, the United States gained knowledge about space exploration and rockets. These three astronauts advanced America as a nation because they were pioneers in an unexplored place. The advancements from John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, and Buzz Aldrin all helped America in the Space Race in the late 20th century.

Dwight D. Eisenhower, a well known and loved president back in the 1900’s. He is one of the founders of NASA. Eisenhower somewhat took the attention from the worlds hate and turned it into a competition. Eisenhower helped transport a man on the moon. Eisenhower made a dream become reality to many people.

Over 100 years ago, when humanity looked for new places to conquer, two men looked to the skies. Wilbur and Orville Wright built the first working motor airplane, and after that day, the world took a huge interest in aviation, causing many leading pioneers and innovators in the aerospace field to emerge, revolutionizing the way we look at the skies.

For example, Galileo, an Italian scientist made one of the first telescopes. He observed the sky and rightly believed that he was able to confirm Copernicus’s theory(Alchin); he turned the telescope to the Heavenly bodies and observed that the sun moves on its axis, Venus shows phases according to her position with the sun. He also believed that Jupiter had revolving moons or satellites that moved around it, and the Milky Way was composed of a multitude of separate stars(Alchin). Another scientist was Kepler; he worked out the mathematical laws that govern movements of planets, and made it clear that the planets revolve around the sun in an elliptical orbit instead of circular orbits. His investigations later led to the discovery of the principle of gravity(Alchin). Vesalius was a scientist, who gave the world the first careful description of the Human Body based on actual dissections and was the founder of human anatomy, which has become an important part of health in today’s society(Alchin). Additionally, Harvey was an Englishman who observed living animals and announced the discovery of circulation of blood in the body. He founded Human Physiology, which greatly impacts us even today(Alchin). Furthermore, magnetism was a large discovery that had a big impact during the Elizabethan Era and times to

General Statement. Trotsky’s role in the Soviet Union was of fundamental importance in Russia during the period 1918 to 1928 as he can be attributed with the Bolshevik acquisition and consolidation of power. However, to achieve a more balanced interpretation it is imperative all contributing factors to his role are acknowledged. Trotsky’s role has not been greatly exaggerated as his strategic leadership skills enabled him to play a fundamental role in the organisation and implementation of the November 1917 Bolshevik seizure of power and the Civil War in 1918-21; however, the importance of Lenin’s role must also be taken into account to achieve a more balanced portrayal as many of Trotsky’s successes were based on Lenin’s initiatives. Additionally, while Trotsky’s crucial ideological role was of significant importance to the Bolshevik party as he proposed policies that rigidly adhered to their socialist ideals, his interpersonal skills led to his inability to implement these ideological objectives.

Wright Brothers The Wright Brothers created an invention, something that changed the way people will travel for the rest of their life. Orville and Wilbur Wright invented what we know now days as the airplane! Since the invention of the airplane, aviation has changed drastically. The Wright brothers started off with wood and one engine, since then engineers have come up with tons of ideas for new aircraft. We have planes as big as a four story building with four engines and we have planes that will break the sound barrier with just one engine.

After WWII, the US and Soviet Union started to develop a new kind of missile program, not for aiming them at other countries, but aiming them at space, this period of time was known as the Space Race ( A Brief History of Space Exploration).America was launched into space because JFK knew the that America needed to restore its confidence and that America would not only meet with the soviets, but surpass them, and from that he made the goal of landing a man on the moon within the decade (Space Program). There were three main scientists from three different countries who started to design rocket engines for space travel. Those scientists were: Konstantin Tsiolkovsk from Russia, Robert Goddard from the US, and Hermann Oberth from Germany ( A

Charles Lindbergh (commonly known for the Lindbergh Effect) was one of, if not the, most important celebrity in aviation for growth of the industry. Lindbergh single handedly impacted the minds of millions of people with respect to aviation, starting from it being viewed as dangerous and stupid, to it being glamorous and helpful, and then growing to it being completely relied upon in today 's society. Aviation would not be where it is at today without the help of this young man. This is due to him being the first to make a solo flight across the Atlantic, taking a tour of the United States via his plane, and by also helping to grow airlines in the United States.

The Apollo space missions of the 60’s and 70’s mark a time when space was the final frontier and the only destination world leaders had their view set upon. The cold war in full swing, each nation wanted to prove its dominance without total world destruction, was the single greatest driving force in the space race to the moon. But how do we invent, build, and use a set of technologies barely dreamed of by the most elite scientists? Rockets, computers, practical space suits, and a lunar lander/space shuttle all had to be built nearly from scratch with almost no past experience. The history of rockets comes from German scientists in the Second World War seeking ways to deliver explosives to enemy forces (Funk). We asked many of these experienced

A Russian scientist named Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov, back in the early 1900s, had an idea that he thought was absolutely brilliant. He wanted to see if he could make a hybrid being between a human and a chimpanzee, or a “humanzee” if you will. At first he started by rounding up 13 female chimpanzees and repeatedly injecting them with human sperm. Unfortunately for him, but fortunately for the world and common sense and reason, his experiments failed and none of them became pregnant. Frustrated with his luck, he decided that he needed to try it the other way round, and got some male chimpanzees and started asking for female volunteers.

Following the spread of this technology, a monk in England by the name of Roger Bacon researched rockets and what could make them go farther. He used different types of gunpowder during these experiments. While Bacon was working on

Many of the scientific breakthroughs went unnoticed by the general population, until the space race. The space race started in the late nineteen-fifties when “the Soviet Union launched the first man-made object to orbit the earth, the Sputnik satellite”(ndcie). America jumped into action creating NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA starts the Mercury project to take the first American to space. But, once again the “Soviet Union beat them to it in 1961 put the first men in space, beating the U.S. astronaut Alan Shepard by one month”(dhc). NASA did not give up the continued with the acceleration of American space program, they launched the first orbital mercury flight. Earlier in the next year John Glenn was the first American astronaut to go into orbit, he circles the earth three times for a total of five hours. He was the first still-photographer in space, taking thirty-eight frames of Kodacolor negative film. While the Mercury project was still in full effect NASA picked nine astronauts for the new project called Gemini, which would expand the space corps to sixteen members. A few months into project Gemini and it was proving ground for strategies and techniques required for space travel; and Gordon Cooper concluded the missions of Mercury

Many people have dreamt going to space, but they couldn't. This was a big issue, but Neil Armstrong worked his way up by studying really hard and getting a good job. People wanted to go to space, but couldn't because it was very expensive. But Neil Armstrong showed them the dangers of going to space and influenced them to be cautious. When Neil Armstrong went into space he knew what his job was and he got it done. Space is beautiful, but can be very dangerous if you do not pay attention.

The men of aviation before the Wright brothers had little but significant impact on the process of building the airplane. George Cayley lived in the late 1700’s and early 1800’s. He was one of the first men to understand that “to fly is not to imitate the flapping wings of a bird but to use rigid wings.” This was a very important idea that proved to be true for the future. Europeans were at work to beat the Americans in building the first heavier-than-air plane. Otto Lilienthal, a German engineer, experimented with hang gliders. His main focus was on a fixed-wing glider not on a
