HERMANN OBERTH

• Hermann Oberth was born in 1894 and died in
  1989 in Germany. He published a book in 1923
  about going into outer space. Because of him,
  small rocket companies were being built around
  the world. Verein fur Raumschiffahrt (Society for
  Space Travel), came up with the idea of the V-2
  rocket, which was used against London during
  World War II. In 1937, German engineers and
  scientists, and Oberth, launched rockets in
  Peenemunde on the shores of the Baltic Sea. There
  the most advanced rocket of its time would be
  built and flown.

ANCIENT CHINESE ROCKETS

• The rocket has made it a valuable tool in space.
  For centuries, rockets have been used for
  ceremonial and for wars and it al started out
  with the ancient Chinese, the first people to
  create rockets. The rocket was first used a fire
  arrow used by the Chin Tartars in 1232 AD for
  fighting off a Mongol on Kai-feng-fu. The larger
  rockets used to launch in space is the more
  modern version of the rockets used all the way
  back in 1232 A.D. But for centuries rockets were
  small, and they were used for weapons, sea
  rescue, signaling, and fireworks. Till the 20th
  century rockets emerged, and thats when the
  rockets became a huge part of rocket technology.
