Close to the text translation: The number of the Earth inhabitants is growing up continiously and quite fast in spite of many negative conditions. During the last century this growth is no less than 1% per year. Taking such percentage as a permanent value further the Earth population will be increased by 1000 times in 1000 years. Where this population should get to when the Earth surface won't be able to feed it. Reactive vehicles will conquer unlimited spaces for people and give them the sun energy two billion times more than the energy humanity has on Earth. But the Sun is not only one, the heavenly bodies are uncountable, that's why not only the unlimited space will be conquered but the unlimited enegry also. K.Tsiolkovsky Coming off the above, one square meter of a greenhouse directional to the sun light is enough for a man feeding. Greenhouse.

K.Tsiolkovsky --> Tsiolkovsky Konstantin Eduardovich was a philosopher, the great enthusiast of metal dirigible building and space exploration. Living in Russian city Kaluga, far from the capital in a small house, being half-deaf, self-educated scientist Tsiolkovsky worked as the teacher of mathematics in local school! His name became well-known in the world because of his dreams about space and rockets! He foreknew and described in his works (1903 and 1914) the future principals of space flights using jet power and rockets, the weightlessness problem, how to survive in spaceship and the necessary equipment for that and for "space walks". Fantastic person! We may just be delighted with his clear ideas what he had living in a province of not an advanced country... SIZE - about 10x12. CONDITION - perfect for its age.
