Theodore Von Kármán
Theodore Von Kármán was a Hungarian-American engineer and physicist, renowned for his contributions to aerodynamics and astronautics. He is best known for defining the Kármán line at an altitude of 100 kilometers, which is commonly recognized as the boundary between Earth’s atmosphere and outer space. His work laid the groundwork for future aerospace innovations and the understanding of flight dynamics.
Born on May 11, 1881 (144 years old)
