History of Space Travel - Looking to the Stars - Extra History - Part 1

🚀 History of Space Travel: Looking to the Stars - What do Ptolemy and ancient Chinese rockets have in common? Without either of these things, space flight wouldn't be possible! In order to understand how we started traveling amongst the stars, we have to talk about how we started studying stars in the first place. Since the very first civilizations, we've always looked at the night sky with wonder & curiosity but also as a way to try and understand the future and time itself.

Start your Warframe journey now and prepare to face your personal nemesis, the Kuva Lich — an enemy that only grows stronger with every defeat. Take down this deadly foe, then get ready to take flight in Empyrean! Coming soon! http://bit.ly/EHWarframe
