The sky on
your birthday.
Robert Goddard and Nell
Robert H. Goddard, considered the father of modern rocketry, launched the world's first liquid-fuel rocket in 1926. Named "Nell," it rose 41 feet in a 2.5-second flight. Goddard was inspired by H.G. Wells's "War of the Worlds" as a teenager. This photo shows him with his rocket, a crucial step in space flight.
