Thanks for a quick resumé of Hermann Oberth! Not to complain, but there's no mention of the Oberth effect, for which he is most known for. Very valuable for interplanetary flight, and pretty apparent and undeniable as derived from Newtonian physics once pointed out by Oberth. Still, very contra-intuitive.
