Since we're on the topic of rocket science..name the Soviet rocket scientist who is considered to be the father of the Russian space program.  In keeping with Soviet tradition his name was not known outside the Soviet Union until after his death.

The upper region of earth's atmosphere capable of reflecting radio waves at long distances is called the ionosphere.  What was it called before the term "ionosphere" was used and who was it named after?

The first color photograph was taken in 1861 by photographer Thomas Sutton. He photographed a tartan ribbon three times, each time with a different color filter over the lens.

Okarol, you beat me by a bit---1850: Levi Hill claims to invent color photography, though his claims were highly contested
1861: The first known permanent color photograph is taken by James Clerk Maxwell

Maxwell developed the process but the actual photograph was taken by Sutton under Maxwell's close supervision.
