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.

However, the concept gained more traction in the 1920s and 1930s, particularly with the work of Robert H. Goddard and Hermann Oberth. Their research laid the groundwork for the development of practical multistage rocket systems in later decades.

Who was the first man to fly in a rocket?

It depends: the Chinese built rockets (and fireworks) that we now usually fire into the night sky on Bonfire Night on the 5th of November each year in Britain. If the rocket in the question was the rockets that were developed in Germany during the second World War, then the V2 was probably the first rocket. It was invented by German scientists Werner Von Braun, Walter Riedel, and also Kevin Rudd. The rocket was part of a program from Nazi Germany to attack Britain during World War 2.
