Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, fully Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky
Imperial Russian and Soviet Rocket Scientist and Pioneer of Astronautic Theory
"The Earth is the Cradle of the Mind but one cannot eternally live in a cradle."
"All the Universe is full of the life of perfect creatures."
"I recognize nothing that is not material. In physics, chemistry and biology I see only mechanics. The Universe is nothing but an infinite and complex mechanism. Its complexity is so great that it borders on randomness, giving the illusion of free will."
