I'm supposed to research one person from a selection I got and their contribution to space exploration. I managed to narrow it down to these guys but I don't know who to choose. Help pls.

Tsiolkvosky- modern day rocket principals

Backward (-ve) momentum of gas= forward (+ve) momentum of rocket since Pr + Pg= 0 due to conservation of momentum.

Hypothesised a 20 stage rocket. Although 20 stages not used in modern world, 3 stage rocket uses the same prinicpals. Kind of brief but that basically summarises what he did
