Tsiolkovsky - Founder of Astronautics

At about this time he first thought of constructing a large balloon with a metallic envelope (с металлической оболочкой). Realizing that his knowledge was not enough, he began to study higher mathematics. The result was that he became a mathematics and physics teacher.
