Answer:
A. Ideas that would later influence the space program
Explanation:
Isaac Newton was a physicist, philosopher, theologian, inventor, alchemist and English mathematician. He is the author of the Philosophiæ naturalis principia mathematica, better known as the Principia, where he describes the law of universal gravitation and established the foundations of classical mechanics through the laws that bear his name. Among his other scientific discoveries are the works on the nature of light and optics (which are presented mainly in his work Opticks), and in mathematics, the development of the infinitesimal calculus.
Newton shares with Gottfried Leibniz the credit for the development of integral and differential calculus, which he used to formulate his laws of physics and astronomy. He also contributed to other areas of mathematics, developing the binomial theorem and the Newton-Cotes formulas.
Newton was the first to demonstrate that the natural laws that govern movement on Earth and those that govern the movement of celestial bodies are the same. He is often qualified as the greatest scientist of all time, and his work as the culmination of the scientific revolution. The mathematician and physicist Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736-1813), said that "Newton was the greatest genius that existed and also the most fortunate, since you can only find once a system that governs the world."
