Summary

DescriptionRobert Hutchins GODDARD.jpg	Robert Hutchins GODDARD - Considered the father of US rocketry. Born in 1882. A physics professor and experimental physicist. Systematic, scientific, step-by-step advances was the method of his approach following his life goal of building a rocket that could travel to the moon. Goddard Published, in 1919, a report for the Smithsonian Institute: A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes, which postulated a solid-propellant moon rocket. In 1923 he fired the first liquid-propellant rocket using liquid oxygen and benzene as fuels. In 1930, in New Mexico, he launched a 10-ft long liquid-propellant rocket to 2,000 ft altitude and 500-mph; five years later to 7,250 ft altitude and to 550 mph with a tapered projectile body and gyro-stabilized exhaust fins. His experimental groundwork helped make interplanetary travel possible.
