What is the history of rockets?
Rockets were invented in our country. According to historical records, as early as A.D. 1000 (the third year of Xianping in Song Zhenzong), rocket weapons appeared in China. The first rocket was made by soldier Tang Fu. The structure of the rocket at that time was very simple. The bamboo tube contains gunpowder, and a directional rod is tied to the tube body, which can control the launching direction. The gunpowder and nitrate in the bamboo tube burn violently, pushing the rocket to fly into the enemy line and explode. This is the earliest rocket in the world. In A.D. 1500, a man named Wang Fu in China designed and manufactured a kite-like aircraft powered by rockets. This is the predecessor of modern rocket launching spacecraft.
