Mathematics demonstartes liftoff
Konstantin Tsiolkovsky creates a math equation that will explain how to acheie liftoff with liquid fuels as he says in the paper he published. Konstani also suggested a multiple step rocket. His mathematical equations are still in use today. pic 1 - http://blogs.esa.int/rocketscience/2012/10/14/a-man-and-an-equation/
