Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, rocket pioneer
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. Statue of the Russian rocket pioneer Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky (1857-1935). Although he never built a working rocket, Tsiolkovskys work was highly influential in the development of Soviet rocket and space technology. He determined that the Earths escape velocity was 8 kilometres per second and showed that this could be achieved using liquid-fuel rockets. Along with Hermann Oberth and Robert H. Goddard, he is considered one of the founding fathers of rocketry and astronautics. Photographed in 1934, in Russia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the statue of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, a remarkable Russian rocket pioneer. Despite never constructing a functional rocket himself, Tsiolkovsky's groundbreaking work greatly influenced the advancement of Soviet rocket and space technology. In his research, he determined that Earth's escape velocity could be achieved by utilizing liquid-fuel rockets, setting the stage for future developments in this field. Photographed in 1934 against the backdrop of Russia, this monument pays homage to Tsiolkovsky's immense contributions as a writer, engineer, and scientist. Alongside esteemed figures like Hermann Oberth and Robert H. Goddard, he is rightfully regarded as one of the founding fathers of modern rocketry and astronautics. The statue depicts Tsiolkovsky seated on a stone pedestal with an air of wisdom and determination about him. As we gaze upon this historical figure who lived during the 19th and early 20th centuries, we are reminded of his significant impact on human history. Tsiolkovsky's legacy extends far beyond his own time; his theories laid the groundwork for space flight advancements that would shape our understanding of outer space exploration. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder not only of his pioneering spirit but also highlights how science transcends borders and cultures. Detlev's expertly captured image allows us to appreciate both the physical representation of Tsiolkovsky's achievements through this magnificent statue while also acknowledging his lasting influence on mankind’s journey into space.
