The other day marks the 160th anniversary of the ingenious Russian scientist, inventor and founder of theoretical cosmonautics Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. In this regard, the first appeared in RuNet site about the space prophecies of this outstanding person – tsiolkovsky.tass.ru. The author of the project is domestic news agency “TASS”.
Konstantin Eduardovich, as many know, predicted the appearance of artificial Earth satellites, multi-stage launch vehicles, orbital stations and many other aircraft. is he also foresaw man’s exit into outer space and his landing on The moon. These prophecies were made by Tsiolkovsky long before how all this became possible in practice.
The site contains many interesting facts regarding scientist’s views on the future. For example, Tsiolkovsky suggested that our civilization will make the first space flight only in this, 2017 year. At the same time, other technologies predicted by the Soviet inventor, yet to be realized. So, Konstantin Eduardovich put forward the idea of a space elevator – engineering construction serving for rocket-free cargo launches into orbit. Unfortunately, this concept still remains. impossible.

The founder of theoretical astronautics did not just prophesy the invention of spacecraft, but also reported with which difficulties will have to face the explorers. He suggested use artificial gravity in space stations, air regeneration and special gateways through which stations can be left. Tsiolkovsky developed the concept so called the “rocket train”, which became the first prototype multi-stage rocket.
The following is also very interesting: the scientist did not hide his faith in that beyond the earth there is life far superior us by intelligence and, therefore, the level of development. Outstanding the inventor was convinced that someday humanity must will fly around the entire solar system, and then rush beyond it, eventually reaching new galaxies. It remains to be hoped that he will be right.
