Historical reference. Tsiolkovsky was a philosopher, the great enthusiast of metal dirigible building and space exploration. Living in Russian city Kaluga, far from the capital in a small house, being half-deaf, self-taught scientist Tsiolkovsky worked as the teacher of mathematics in local school! His name became well-known in the world because of his dreams about space and rockets! He foreknew and described in his works (1903 and 1914) the future principals of space flights using jet power and rockets, the weightlessness problem, how to survive in spaceship and the necessary equipment for that and for "space walks". Fantastic person! We may just be delighted with his clear ideas what he had living in a province of not an advanced country... By the way, Tsiolkovsky ideas of metal hull were used to build famous Zeppelin airships.
