  Hermann Oberth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oberth was, along with the Russian Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and the American Robert Goddard, one of the three founding fathers of rocketry and astronautics.
Oberth was married at the age of 35 to Tilli Oberth (née Hummel), with whom he had four children, among them a son who died at the front during World War II and a daughter who also died during the war, when a liquid oxygen plant exploded in a workplace accident in August 1944.
Oberth is memorialized by the Hermann Oberth Space Museum in Feucht, and by the Hermann Oberth Society, which brings together scientists, researchers and astronauts from East and West in order to carry on his work in rocketry and space exploration.

 Ex Astris Scientia - Starship Registries
This does not seem to correspond with all TNG and early DS9 episodes when starships were scarce and the 39 ships destroyed in the battle at Wolf 359 were regarded as a heavy loss.
If all starships are successively numbered this means that the Grissom is much older than the original Enterprise, though she looks rather contemporary to the Excelsior.
It is hardly believable that starships are constructed based on the same design for more than 150 years, while on the other hand there is a great variety (about 50 to 60 confirmed yet) of different classes with apparently short life spans of only two or three decades.

This class saw a slight design alteration at one point, for the first vessels of this class (the older ones, built in the 2350's) had a disk shaped sensor platform, as opposed to a triangular shaped tactical and sensor platform later on.
