Konstantin Tsiolkovskiy is a Russian and Soviet self-taught scientist who developed the theoretical issues of astronautics, and an esoteric thinker who dealt with the philosophical problems of space exploration.

Almost completely deaf in childhood as a result of scarlet fever, Tsiolkovskiy did not receive a systematic education (he studied for four years at the Vyatka gymnasium and spent three years self-educating). In 1879 he passed the exam for the title of a people's teacher and until 1921 he taught mathematics and physics at the schools of Borovsk and Kaluga, at the same time trying to interest the scientific community with his projects of airplanes and an all-metal airship, and subsequently rocket technology. He published at his own expense many works, including those devoted to substantiating the idea of cosmic pantheism.

His main scientific works - on aeronautics, rocket dynamics and astronautics - began with an attempt to use the mathematical apparatus to solve fantastic problems. Many researchers, including Yakov Perelman, characterized Tsiolkovskiy as a thinker who was significantly ahead of his time.

The Earth is the cradle of humanity, but mankind cannot stay in the cradle forever.

In the very distant future, intelligent beings will be transformed into ray energy or another form of matter that will fill the entire space of the Universe, and the entire cosmos will become a single intelligent being, after which the mind will move to a higher order, and will know everything and desire nothing. This will be the state which the mind of man considers the prerogative of the gods. The cosmos will turn into a great perfection.
