		Robert Hutchings Goddard (October 5, 1882 – August 10, 1945) was one of the pioneers of modern rocketry.
		Robert Goddard, bundled against the cold New England weather of March 16, 1926, holds the launching frame of his most notable invention — the first liquid-fueled rocket.
		Goddard was awarded 214 patents for his work, most of them coming after his death.

		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'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, gimbal-steering, power-driven fuel pumps and other devices.
		Goddard was the first scientist who not only realized the potentialities of missiles and space flight but also contributed directly in bringing them to practical realization.

		Goddard's greatest engineering contributions were made during his work in the 1920's and 1930's (see list of historic firsts).
		Goddard's work was virtually ignored in the United States and made little impression upon government officials.
		However, Goddard's secrecy had prevented the Germans from learning much about his work, and the similarity of design was mostly coincidence.

		Robert Goddard's interest in rocketry started in 1898 when, as a 16 year old, he read "War of the Worlds" written by the English science fiction writer and novelist, H.G. Wells.
		Goddard began his experiments in rocketry while studying for his doctorate at Clark University in Worcester, Mass., and, on May 26, 1919, wrote a progress report to the Smithsonian Institution entitled "A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes."
