The first person to study in detail the use of rockets for spaceflight was the Russian schoolteacher and mathematician Konstantin Tsiolkovsky.

There is no one first successful launch but instead many notible milestone launches in rocket development. -Solid fueled rockets using gunpowder can be traced back to the 13th century. Solid fuel rockets that were effective on the battle field were demonstrated early in the 19th century. -Robert Goddard designed, built and launched the first liquid fueled rocket in 1926. The fuel was gasoline with liquid oxygen used as the oxidizer. It flew less than 100 feet but it functioned as designed and became the foundation for many of todays liquid fueled rockets from the Saturn V to the space shuttle's main engines. -The German liquid fueled V2 was the first large successful rocket to loft a sizable warhead out of the atmosphere on a ballistic tragectory. It's first successful launch occurred in 1942. -1st successful rocket launch to achieve the 17,500 MPH required for continuous orbit around the earth was a Soviet Sputnik rocket which carried the Sputnik 1 satellite to low earth orbit in October 1957. -1st successful rocket launch of a human being occured on April 12, 1961. Yuri Gargarin was carried to low earth orbit. -1st succussful rocket launch to reach the 25,000 MPH required to escape the earths gravity was the Soviet probe Luna 1 launched in 1959.
