This timeline highlights significant milestones in space exploration from the early 1900s to the 1970s. Key figures such as Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, regarded as the father of cosmonautics, and Robert Goddard, who launched the first successful rocket in 1926, paved the way for advancements in rocket technology. The Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik in 1957 marked the first artificial satellite in orbit, followed by Yuri Gagarin becoming the first human in space in 1961. The culmination of this era was Neil Armstrong's historic moonwalk in 1969.
