Steam Powered early British Space Flight and Exploration 1898 Designed and built by Benjamin Cox and John Calvin two early scientists, inventors, tinkers, and early space pioneers 1898. Nicknamed the “Benjamin and Calvin’s Teapot” this is a very early attempt at a steam powered orbital flight. The “Tea Pot” made two attempts to achieve a low orbit of the earth, but failed on both flights to achieve orbit and splashed down both times safely in the sea off Britain. Although they did not orbit the earth they did on both flights achieve sub orbit in this rather crude design, a major achievement for its time and level of technology,.
