The ancient chinese. NASA was the first to make it happen, in the ancient world there were a few devestating experiments with bamboo rockets.
== The Chinese may be the first to have made and used rockets, but I doubt that they had space travel in mind, or that they were considering whether, or by what means, they could propel an object through the vacuum of space. The German scientist Werner von Braun was recruited by the US after WWII, and he, I believe, was the first to conceptualize and help engineer successful space rockets. Before they were proven to function, some serious minded earthlings were convinced that escaping earth's gravity was utterly impossible, no matter how you attempted it. Others tried to argue that rockets would not function in vacuum because they had the mistaken notion that without atmosphere, there would be nothing for the rocket blast to push against. This demonstrates that when something is not in our immediate experience, we can easily allow our logic to get tripped up.

Who proposed the idea of a multi stage rocket in 1903?
Russian scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was thinking about interplanetary flight as long ago as 1895. In 1903, he suggested a way of getting large objects into space, using rockets with several stages that would be jettisoned as their fuel was used up. All major rockets are now built this way.
