Answer 1

First of all, it would require people to accept the concept of there being a space you can travel to. Before Copernicus and Galileo, even saying that earth was not the center of the universe and that other planets were objects where some one could stand on could land you a one way ticket for a bonfire for uttering an heresy.

Then, one needs to envision a mean to get there. There was the old Greek legend of Daedalus and Icarus, who made wings to fly off their prison, so a dream to fly goes back at least a couple of thousand years. Practical flight capability had to wait for the Montgolfier brothers, who made the first hot air balloon (arounf 1783), and contemporaries, so encouraged by this progress, started envisioning ascending to the moon in balloons, totally unaware as they were that the atmosphere ends way before you are even close to being there.

For real space travel, Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky (1857-1935) was the first one to really propose a way of going to space using rockets in 1903, even if the like of Jules Verne were writing about it before ("From the Earth to the Moon", published in 1865, in which a giant canon is used to fire a hollowed shell with people in it).
After that, Science Fiction took over, and described virtually anything you can imagine, some of those dreams becoming reality, some of those may becoming reality in the not too distant future.

Answer 2

'Other Worlds' by Cyrano de Bergerac is about the earliest space travel story I know of - I expect there are some earlier ones though.

There were a whole lot of Space Adventure type strip cartoons around in comics before the Jetsons - if you are looking for earlier animated cartoons though; I'm not sure.

Not to get you all weepy and teary eyed over me, however I under no circumstances rather had any peers till I met a few individuals on-line a pair years in the past. I grew up dwelling within the core of nowhere, without a different children round, and I did not cross to college, so I under no circumstances interacted with children besides for as soon as every week at church. And whilst we have been all near, we under no circumstances have been rather "peers" till approximately a yr in the past. I used to be continuously the butt of each funny story, and no person used to be my age (all two years more youthful or older) so I have continuously been a loner. In 2006, I began a web based college, and I met a entire bunch of individuals that I obtained to understand rather good. I nonetheless don't forget them my first peers, and so they continuously shall be my peers. It wasn't till approximately a yr in the past that all of the individuals I knew from church "matured" and we began striking out and doing extra matters in combination, so now they're my peers. And then there are all you men I have on R&S :) I believe of you all as my peers, and I love approaching Answers (might be a bit of an excessive amount of hehe) And Catti is my bestest pal ever, on-line or truly existence :)

Answer 4

Most people have been thinking about travelling into space since they knew what space was.It's been a very active thought, and if someone could establish a space colony, well, they'd be richer than Donald Trump.

Maybe the Jules Verne story, "From the Earth to the Moon", written in 1865.
