Outer space, its mystery and vastness has long fired the human imagination. We dream about traveling through outer space. You wonder whether other life forms exist in the universe. Through most of human history, the pole of gravity has allowed us to travel only in our thoughts and in our stories. Wild fantasy vehicles have pierced the deep space of science fiction stories. Dreams moved towards reality in the early 20th century with the development of liquid fuel rockets. The first was launched in 1926 by RH Goddard in the United States. Germany and the Second World War pushed rocket research ahead. The V1 and V2 rockets, developed by Vernon von Braun were used in the bombing of London.
