How did such an intellectual giant spring up out of nowhere? Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky was the founder of Russian astrophysics and cosmonautics. He was a self-taught scientist, inventor, philosopher and science fiction writer. He lost his hearing at age 10; he struggled in obscurity, earning a living as a school teacher; while he was in his prime the Soviet Revolution changed his world – but nothing stopped him from achieving his life’s purpose. Historian and biographer Dan Shubin presents Tsiolkovsky’s life story and a selection of his compositions including autobiographical notes, his cosmic and political philosophy, and his science fiction writings.
