Isaac Newton- At 23, plague while at Cambridge- Went to be one with nature- He studied gravity- Discovered “Newton’s Laws of Motion”F = m a- 1666, he understood planetary motion- Did zip for 20 years until Edmund HalleyEarly History:• British, 1814- In 1799, the British attacked Tippoo Sultan’s Mogol forces in India- British forces were bombed by rockets 5,000 rocketeers- Losses were severe, but the British learned something- British developed a rocket program- Used this program on United States- Bombed Baltimore for 25 hours- Francis Scott Key wrote poem “...and the rockets red glare...gave proof through the night that our flag was still there...”Early History:• Confederate States of America, 1864- 12 foot long rocket- 10 pounds of gunpowder- Launched from Richmond, Virginia- Intended to be first ballistic missile- Target was Washington, D.C.- Brass case marked C.S.A.- Roar out of sight- Never found- What’s the point?- Rockets = weapons- No real thought on how they worked or functioned- No control, just light it and hope it doesn’t return- Someone changed all that…Introduction:- Jules Verne- 1866, published, “From the Earth to the Moon”- He changed the thinking of rockets- He saw them as method of travel- He presented the world with a glimpse of the futureVerne:Verne:Verne:Verne:-Deeply affected the course of rockets-Also published Time travel- Makes you wonderTsiolkovsky:• Russia, 1883 - School Teacher, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, published famous “Rocket Equation” in 1903- Considered mad at time now a monument stands in Moscow- Influenced by Verne- Was an amazing person- Very poor and nearly deaf- Was self educated- He published over 500 papers-Talked about multistage rockets, liquid rocketsTsiolkovsky:The Rocket Equation:- Very depressed, until this guy paid him a visitTsiolkovsky:- Dimitri Mendeleyev- Invented the Periodic Table- He inspired TsiolkovskyTsiolkovsky:Tsiolkovsky:“ Happiness is the absence of all kind of suffering in all the Universe, for all times, as well as the absence of all of the processes for destroying goodness.”-To do this, one needs to understand the universe-To do that, one needs to go to space and liveTsiolkovsky:The Earth is the cradle of the mind, but we cannot live forever in a cradle1n 1926 Tsiolkovsky defined his "Plan of Space Exploration,” consisting of sixteen steps for human expansion into space:Tsiolkovsky:1) Creation of rocket airplanes with wings.2) Progressively increasing the speed and altitude of these airplanes.3) Production of real rockets-without wings.4) Ability to land on the surface of the sea.5) Reaching escape velocity (about 8 Km/second), and the first flight into Earth orbit.6) Lengthening rocket flight times in space.7) Experimental use of plants to make an artificial atmosphere in spaceships.8) Using pressurized space suits for activity outside of spaceships.9) Making orbiting greenhouses for plants.10) Constructing large orbital habitats around the Earth.11) Using solar radiation to grow food, to heat space quarters, and for transport throughout Solar System.12) Colonization of the asteroid belt.13) Colonization of the entire Solar System and beyond.14) Achievement of individual and social perfection.15) Overcrowding of the Solar System and the colonization of the Milky Way (the Galaxy).16) The Sun begins to die and the people remaining in the Solar System's population go to other suns.Other tidbits…-As early as 1894, Tsiolkovsky designed a monoplane which flew in 1915. -He built the first Russian wind tunnel in 1897. -Tsiolkovsky was interested in the theories of space flight, but he never built a rocket or motor himself. -In December, 1996, U.S. Astronaut John Blaha, aboard the Russian space station MIR, harvested the first wheat crop completely grown in space, thus fulfilling Step 9 of his 16 step plan for the first time. -Sputnik, the first artificial Earth satellite,
