Tesla started doing electrical experiments back in 1885, the rockets and stuff you're talking about didn't happen until WWII. Oh yeah, and he was also the first one to make a BL motor, an AC powered one at that. The guy did a butt load of cool stuff, but was a bit odd, and probably had obsessive compulsive disorder. Still, it's fascinating to read all the stuff he made, check it out!
