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)Rocketry.hydrogen-fueled rocket.oxygen-alcohol rockets.spaceflight.Interplanetary voyages.Space flight.Space flightRockets (Aeronautics)629.47/52Oberth Hermann6715DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910787496403321The Rocket into Planetary Space3700869UNINA
