	Tsiolkovsky, Konstantin Eduardovich (1857-1935)
		Since none of Tsiolkovsky’s subsequent writings were widely circulated at the time (he paid for their publication himself out of his meager teacher’s wage), it was many years before news of his work spread to the West.
		One of the propellant combinations that Tsiolkovsky favored, used commonly today in launch vehicles, was liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen because it produces a particularly high exhaust velocity.
		But Tsiolkovsky was the first to analyze it in depth, and he concluded that it was the only feasible way of enabling a spacecraft to escape from the Earth’s gravity.

		Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky (Константин Эдуардович Циолковский, Konstanty Ciołkowski) (September 5, 1857 new style – September 19, 1935) was a Russian and Soviet rocket scientist and pioneer of cosmonautics who spent most of his life in a log house on the outskirts of the Russian town of Kaluga.
		Tsiolkovsky calculated that the escape velocity from the Earth into orbit was 8 km/second and that to achieve this, a multi-stage rocket fueled by liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen was required.
		Tsiolkovsky also delved into theories of heavier-than-air flying machines, independently working through many of the same calculations that the Wright brothers were doing at the same time.

	Tsiolkovsky
		Konstantin, or Kostya for short, was fifth out of 18 children in the family.
		During the Soviet period, Tsiolkovsky was portrayed as the brilliant scientist from the Russian heartland who struggled to get recognition from the ignorant and indifferent officials of czarist Russia.
		Despite the fact that Tsiolkovsky's theories remained largely unknown in the West for decades, his influence on the first generation of Russian space engineers is unquestionable.

	The Science Fiction of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky
		In this collection, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky writes delightfully, although in the state of our knowledge of space travel today, somewhat contradictorily, on a subject that has fascinated Man-kind ever since he looked to the stars and presumed to wonder about the nature of the universe.
		Tsiolkovsky's earliest writings on the subject of interplanetary travel and exploration were infused with a dream-like quality.
		Konstantin Tsiolkovsky may not be the best of all science fiction writers, nor, as the Leninists so proudly declared, the "father" of the theory of jet-propulsion and interplanetary travel.

		Tsiolkovsky later remembered that his hearing loss influenced greatly his future life: during all his life he tried to prove to himself and to others that he was better and more clever than others, even with his disability.
		Tsiolkovsky's most famous quote is, "Earth is the cradle of humanity, but one cannot remain in the cradle forever." Unfortunately his ideas never made it out of Russia, and the field lagged until German researcher Friedrich Zander became enthusiastic about Tsiolkovsky's work and active in promoting and developing it.
		Tsiolkovsky died on September 19, 1935 in Kaluga, Russia, where there is a museum of astronautics named after him.

		Tsiolkovsky believed that liquid rockets would be the exploration vehicle for the rocket age because these craft could be throttled, stopped, and restarted.
		Tsiolkovsky's mathematical calculations demonstrated that liquid fueled rockets would be more efficient for space travel because the hotter and lighter the exhaust gases are, the more efficient is the rocket engine.
		Tsiolkovsky was given a stipend from the Tsar's government of 400 roubles; at best they thought of him as an eccentric scientist at worst they thought he was crazy.
