This essay discusses aluminum’s importance in technology, indicating its unique properties and potential for future alloys.
The essay focuses on aluminum, calling it the “lucky” 13th element, because, from its discovery to the present day, it has been linked to technological progress. Its chemical and physical properties make it important and indispensable. It is no coincidence that the author uses a quote from the father of cosmonautics, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, as the motto of the essay. The author’s dream is to explore the Universe, understand how it works, and, perhaps, discover new chemical elements or create new alloys that will help find new worlds.
