Man in Space

The brief history of space discovery

It did not started with the Greeks

the ancient chinese used the first rockets as fireworks, then as weapons of war in the 13th century. .

Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky

Pioneer of the astronautic theory Determined that Earth's escape velocity was 8 km/sec and showed that this could be achieved using liquid-fuel rockets

Vernher von Braun

1942. The first man-made rocket to breach the boundary of space V-2. Oberth and von Braun became US scientists. 1949, USA their rocket reached 393 km. Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing. There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program - your tax-dollar will go further.

Space Stations
A space station (or orbital station) is a spacecraft capable of supporting a crew which is designed to remain in space (most commonly in low Earth orbit) for an extended period of time, and to which other spacecraft can dock.

As of October 2011 two space stations are in orbit; the International Space Station, and China's Tiangong 1. Previous stations include the Almaz and Salyut series, Skylab and most recently Mir (19861998).

ISS (1998present)

Space shuttles
First reusable spacecraft has carried people into orbit repeatedly, launched, recovered and repaired satellites, conducted cuttingedge research and built ISS. First launch on April 12, 1981, the last onJuly 21, 2011 Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavour flew 135 missions.
