Military rockets filled with gunpowder were first used in 1312 by the Chinese against the 
Tatars. The idea caught on in the West, too, and rockets lit up the sky in 1380 in battle 
between Venice and Genoa. Th Indians used them against the British at the end of the 18th 
century. The British were impressed and Colonel William Congreve set to work on the 
Congreve rocket, with a rang of 1,800 metres. In 1806, during the Napoleonic wars, some 
200 Congreve rockets set fire to Boulogne. This had no been part of the plan: they had 
actually beer aimed at shipping in the harbour. Rockets have since been also used to fire 
lifelines from ship to shore, to fire harpoons into the backs of whales, and of course, to 
launch humans into space.
