About a century ago, about imagining space exploration

About a century ago, about imagining space exploration
In the early years of the 20th century, the Russian astronomer - now the father of cosmonautics and rocket - wrote a story about what life in space might be like and future discoveries in space.
Konstantin Tssiolkosky (1857–1935) retained the right of the 2017 world government to fight wars and conflicts. He is right, this humanity improves technology for traveling from Earth to music.
This happened 60 years after the ransom. Now, if you missed the 2017 study, find another place?

Tsiolkovsky's story, Outside the Earth (1960) in English, combines fantasy of the best scientific minds to build an orbiting rocket from the 16th to the 20th century.
The story reflects the views of Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), Isaac Newton (1642–1727), and Tiolkovsky himself (under the pseudonym of Ivanov), and so on.
Using science fiction, Tsiolkovsky describes not only the practical aspects of living in space but also his emotions and feelings. This is an excellent verb to imagine.
Let us see how Tsiolkovsky's experience of thinking formed against reality.

During his life, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky reflected many of his ideas in paintings. One was a painting of this spacecraft in 1883.












The scene from the rocket
In orbit, space travelers are amazed at the beauty and delicacy of the Earth and experience the exchange of consciousness. This phenomenon has been known by astronauts and astronauts since the 1960s as Overview Effect.

Tsiolkovsky predicted this, warning Newton's rocket crew to see the perfect image of the Earth and create mixed emotions:
"People were stunned by the sight, some were devastated and moved away from the illuminator.
Regardless, another aspect of Overview Effect is that the viewer understands the national boundaries and the meaning of the Earth's disputes.
Perhaps this is because our imagined cosmonauts live in a peaceful world far from where we live today.


In space, everyone is equal
Tsiolkovsky believed that the absence of gravitational forces would lead to the disappearance of social classes and the equality of all.
The energy emitted by the Sun from the orbit is excessive and free. Due to the lack of gravity to move heavy loads from the ground, less energy is used, which results in lower construction costs.
Clothes are unnecessary because the temperature can be easily changed between 30 and 35 degrees. Beds remain in the past.
There is no difference between the resources of the rich and the poor - everyone can live in a beautiful microgravity palace if they want to.
In fact, space travel is a very rich natural resource for an individual or nation. In any case, there is a risk that inequality of access to space resources will occur rather than erosion and inequality on Earth.

Orbital diaspora
After successfully testing the rockets, they gave the technology to anyone who wanted to move into space.
Thousands of rockets were put into geostationary orbit - most of our telecommunications satellites are now in orbit at an altitude of 35,000 km from Earth.
The colonists create an orbital greenhouse environment. Each cylinder of 1000 × 10 m can accommodate 100 people. The soil-filled groove runs through the center and supports the flowering ecosystem of fruits, vegetables and flowers. For all season, our vegetarian colonists, without seasons, weeds and pests, will have food for the whole year.
In fact, according to Tsiolkovsky's predictions, people began to live in orbit much earlier. The world  first space station "Salyut-1" was launched in 1971. The International Space Station has continuously developed over the last 17 years on Earth. But there is no space in the world where humans can escape the difficulties of life on Earth.

We know that microgravity has a serious effect on the human body due to a decrease in bone density and loss of vision.

Development of Solar System Resources
 Newton and his rocket crew learn how to meteorite and learn from them the following minerals: iron, nickel, silica, aluminum, various oxides, graphite and so on.
Of these minerals, Newton said, construction materials, oxygen to breathe, soil and even water can be removed.
When orbiting colonists build their habitat, the rocket is sent to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. A quick study shows that asteroids:
[…] Rich and unusual source of material for the colonies.
Tsiolkovsky was right about the importance of the solar system's material development for future space economies. Here his prophecy and real life are more personalized.
However, it takes governments, private businesses and researchers to develop technologies that can absorb the lunar and asteroid material.

Leaving the Earth Five
One hundred years ago, Tsiolkovsky thought that life in space would create an egalitarian society that drank from the sun's energy and equated people with the orbits of greenhouses.
Instead, rockets and satellites become orbits around the Earth, split into smaller pieces that reflect the distribution of plastics in the oceans.
As space for profit competing with space as a common heritage of mankind, the future of human society must be remembered that there are alternative visas of other worlds that we can navigate.
On the one hand, we were far superior to Tsiolkovsky. Astronauts at Outside the Earth are talking about Mercury going to Saturn's ring.
Could he have imagined that in 2018, the Voyager spacecraft could go beyond the Earth, but out of the Solar System?
