On September 18, 2023, in honor of the birthday of Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky, the thematic event “Konstantin Tsiolkovsky – dreams of space” was held at the European Foundation of Slavic Literature and Culture.K. E. Tsiolkovsky is an outstanding Russian scientist in the field of aeronautics, aviation and astronautics, the founder of theoretical cosmonautics. His developments marked the beginning of the space age.
During the event, those present learned about how the scientist’s life developed, what the fate of his scientific heritage was, and how these works are used today. With great interest we became acquainted with reprinted editions of newspapers, books, the scientist’s first astronomical drawings, scientific articles and copies of manuscripts. We were able to trace the development of his ideas, from his fantastic dream of flight to the creation of the first rockets. Using his life example, we were convinced of what a great dream is and received excellent confirmation of the thesis that everything is achievable.
