Who was Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky? A modest teacher from Kaluga, who made others laugh with his eccentricities, loved to skate with an umbrella, cut children's haircuts from all over the street on his porch and flew kites for them? This is all true, but the main thing is that he was a brilliant scientist. More than a hundred years ago, he invented a rocket that opened the way for people to the stars.
