Anyone here interested in Konstantin Tsiolkovksy and living near LA needs to go to the Museum of Jurassic Technology as they have an exhibit on him. I knew about Tsiolkovsky and when I saw his journals I thought it was a joke. But it was not and I was blown away by how much he predicted. Take for instance this picture from his "Album of Space Travel" (drawn in 1933):

There was so much more in that museum from his journals which isn't available online. I saw pictures of spaceships with layouts accounting for the lack of gravity, dinner parties in space, I am not a good enough writer to do it justice.
I was there in January and it looked to be a rotating exhibit possibly? It was my first time going and I didn’t know what to expect and tried not to read anything ahead of time to prepare.
He anticipated what spacesuits would look like, what EVAs would look like: https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/page-from-tsiolkovsk...
