Outlook --Addendum --PostscriptFor all being interested in astronautics, this translation of Hermann Oberth's classic work is a truly historic event. Readers will be impressed with this extraordinary pioneer and his incredible achievement. In a relatively short work of 1923, Hermann Oberth laid down the mathematical laws governing rocketry and spaceflight, and he offered practical design considerations based on those laws.Interplanetary voyagesSpace flightSpace flightRockets (Aeronautics)Electronic books.Interplanetary voyages.Space flight.Space flightRockets (Aeronautics)629.47/52Oberth Hermann6715DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910460189303321The Rocket into Planetary Space2488808UNINA
