Rockets: Two Classic Papers

Rockets, in the primitive form of fireworks, have existed since the Chinese invented them around the thirteenth century.

Ridiculed by the press for suggesting that rockets could be flown to the moon, he continued his experiments, supported partly by the Smithsonian Institution and defended by Charles Lindbergh....
