Rockets and Robert Goddard
Robert Goddard, born in 1882, became one of the founders of modern rocketry. Inspired by science fiction, he designed and launched the world's first liquid-fuel rocket in 1926. Despite public ridicule for suggesting rockets could reach the Moon, he continued his experiments, supported in part by the Smithsonian Institution.
