The Story Of Rockets - A Quick History Of Space Exploration

The Story Of Rockets - In this video, we are going to discuss the history of space exploration. It spans across centuries and the generations of rocket scientists. Today we are able to launch space missions because in the 18th century a poor scientist from Russia devoted his whole life to rocketry. In the modern era, those who work in spaceflight today often acknowledge three “fathers of rocketry” who helped push the first rockets into space. Only one of these three survived long enough to see rockets being used for space exploration.
