Spaceships, also known as airships, are developed from balloons. As early as 1670, Francisco Lana proposed a scientific design to create a spaceship by filling it with levitation gas that was lighter than air. In 1755, Joseph Calais made a bold design for this idea. The birth of the balloon in 1782 directly laid the foundation for the advent of the spaceship.
The first manned spacecraft was successfully trial-produced by French Henri Giffard in 1851. The spacecraft was 44 meters long, 12 meters in diameter, and 2,499 cubic meters in volume. The propeller is driven by a 3-horsepower steam engine weighing 160 kilograms. It looks like a cigar. On September 24, 1852, Giffard put hydrogen into an airbag and drove the spaceship. It flew 27 kilometers in the breeze at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour outside Paris, creating the world's first Flight record of the first spaceship.
