    Wan Hu (萬戶 or 萬虎) is a legendary Chinese official described in modern sources as possibly the first man to attempt to use a rocket to launch into outer space. The story concerns an imperial Chinese official, referred to as Wan Hu. To realize his space dream, he sat on a chair with 47 rockets tied to it, holding a kite in each of his hands and flying into the sky. But the rockets exploded, which resulted in the ultimate failure. There are also variations of this story. Found it on Wiki 🤔 If you could call him an inventor?
