		Indeed, the flight of Goddard's rocket on March 16,1926, at Auburn, Massachusetts, was a feat as epochal in history as that of the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk.
		Goddard first obtained public notice in 1907 in a cloud of smoke from a powder rocket fired in the basement of the physics building in Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
		Goddard's work largely anticipated in technical detail the later German V-2 missiles, including gyroscopic control, steering by means of vanes in the jet stream of the rocket motor, gimbalsteering, power-driven fuel pumps and other devices.

	Truman Library - Sterling E. Goddard Oral History Interview
		GODDARD: No, both J.C. and Fred were ahead of me and Martha Ann was in a class or two behind me, although I think she went only through the 8th grade here and then took her high school education at Hickman Mills, or at Ruskin High School.
		GODDARD: Even when Vivian and Louella Truman were still living there on Blue Ridge and I guess even when Mary Jane and Grandma Truman were living in the house, the only farming that was actually done was dairy farming, which was done by Gilbert and Harry.
		GODDARD: That ended the farming operation, except for that tract over on the north side of the railroad, and that evidently was probably leased by somebody, because a crop was put in there every year.

	Goddard, Robert (1882-1945) -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Scientific Biography
		Goddard was cautious not to mention flights to Mars or any other planet, as any celestial object beyond the Moon was considered by many scientists at that time to be too far away from Earth to ever be reached by humans.
		He thought the exhaust from the vehicle would have nothing to push against; he did not realize that the rocket exhaust would be acting against the inner walls of the rocket itself, thus creating the required reaction.
		Despite all this work, Goddard and his rockets were generally unknown to the American public, and many of his ideas went unrecognized until several decades after his death in 1945.

		Robert H. Goddard (1882-1945) was one of the three most prominent pioneers of rocketry and spaceflight theory.
		Although he developed and patented many of the technologies later used on large rockets and missiles--including film cooling, gyroscopically controlled vanes, and a variable-thrust rocket motor--only the last of these technologies contributed directly to the furtherance of rocketry in the United States.
		Goddard kept most of the technical details of his inventions a secret and thus missed the chance to have the kind of influence his real abilities promised.
