100 Great Conquerors of Space

The idea of human spaceflight and the exploration of space as a whole originated in ancient times, primarily through the spiritual comprehension of the cosmos by humans. Initially, it found its embodiment in artistic and religious images, then formed at... the level of philosophical-theoretical consciousness, and finally took on concrete scientific and technical outlines. Humans first mastered lighter-than-air and flying vehicles, then space vehicles and orbital stations, and behind even the smallest achievement lies an enormous amount of scientific and design work.
This book tells about a hundred outstanding pioneers of space — theorists, designers, and cosmonauts — in the next volume of the series.
