Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineers
Wernher von Braun was a key figure in the development of modern rockets, particularly for his work on the V-2 rocket for Nazi Germany during World War II. Sergei Korolev, the chief designer of the Soviet space program, made significant contributions to the development of rocket technology that led to the first human spaceflight. Robert H. Goddard, known as the "father of modern rocketry," pioneered the development of liquid-fueled rockets in the early 20th century.

Created the V-2 rocket (in Germany called the A-4) was small by comparison to today's rockets. It achieved its great thrust by burning a mixture of liquid oxygen and alcohol at a rate of about one ton every seven seconds.
The invention of the rocket traces back to ancient China, where gunpowder-filled tubes were used for military purposes. Over time, this technology evolved, and in the 20th century, scientists like Robert Goddard and Konstantin Tsiolkovsky made significant contributions to rocket development. Rockets were further propelled by advancements in World War II and the subsequent space race between the USA and USSR, leading to the development of modern rockets used for space exploration and satellite launches.
Yes, the Chinese are credited with the earliest use of rockets. During the 13th century, they developed gunpowder-based rockets, which were used for military purposes and as fireworks. This innovation laid the foundation for modern rocketry and influenced the development of missile technology in other cultures.
Three main types of rockets that power modern spacecrafts are liquid-propellant rockets, solid-propellant rockets, and hybrid rockets. Liquid-propellant rockets use liquid fuel and oxidizer, solid-propellant rockets use solid fuel and oxidizer mixed together, and hybrid rockets use a combination of solid and liquid propellants.
Rockets in the Civil war can go very long distances but not as far as modern rockets
The development of humans that walk upright and opposable thumbs. It helped scientists classify us as modern humans.

They are used for going into space and as missiles.
