There was some theory that his work was used in NASA space program.

Not a theory.
Considering that people like Oberth, Von Braun and many other rocket enthusiasts at the time read it, it is one of the intellectual building blocks on which modern space travel is founded.
(An important other one being the work of Konstantin Tsiolkovsky.)

Anyone heard about this guy or knows what his book is about?
