The idea of rockets dates back to ancient China, where gunpowder was first used in military applications, leading to the development of simple rocket devices like fire arrows. These early rockets laid the groundwork for modern rocketry, evolving through the centuries with contributions from figures like Johannes Kepler and Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, who theorized about space travel and propulsion. The scientific principles behind rockets, particularly Newton's laws of motion, further advanced the design and functionality of rockets in the 20th century, culminating in space exploration. Today, rockets are essential for launching satellites, space probes, and humans into orbit.
