Konstantin Tsiolkovsky
Konstantín Eduárdovich Tsiolkovski (en ruso: Константи́н Эдуа́рдович Циолко́вский; Izhévskoye, Imperio ruso; 17 de septiembre de 1857-Kaluga, Unión Soviética; 19 de septiembre de 1935) fue un físico soviético, pionero de la Cosmonáutica. Junto con Hermann Oberth y Robert H. Goddard, es uno de los pioneros de los vuelos espaciales y el padre fundador de la cohetería y la astronáutica. Habiéndose quedado casi completamente sordo en la infancia como resultado de la escarlatina, Tsiolkovsky no recibió una educación sistemática (estudió durante cuatro años en el gimnasio Vyatka y pasó tres años en autoeducación). En 1879 aprobó el examen para el título de maestro nacional y hasta 1921 enseñó matemáticas y física en las escuelas de Bórovsk y Kaluga, al mismo tiempo tratando de interesar a la comunidad científica con sus proyectos de aviones y una aeronave totalmente metálica y, más tarde, de tecnología de cohetes. Sobre su ecuación del cohete se fundamenta toda la astronáutica. Leer más en Wikipedia
