	Spaceline: History of Rocketry : Goddard
		Robert Hutchings Goddard was born on October 5, 1882 in Worcester, Massachusetts.
		During this period, Goddard concluded that a combination of liquid oxygen and gasoline were the only practical fuels that could be used in his continuing research in the development of liquid-fueled rocket motors.
		Goddard launched a rocket similar to the first one in a flight that covered a distance of 50 feet in 4.2 seconds.

		Robert Hutchins 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 in 1945.

		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 role as a leader in technology and science is as alive today as it was in 1959 when Explorer Vl, under Goddard project management, provided the world with its first image of Earth from space.

	Robert Hutchings Goddard
		Goddard was the first scientist to realize the potentialities of missiles and space flight and also to contribute directly in bringing them to practical realization.
		Goddard designed and built the world’s first liquid-fuel rocket, early high-altitude rockets and the first practical automatic steering device for rockets and to prove experimentally the efficiency of rocket propulsion in a vacuum.
		Goddard in his later years said that on October 19, 1899, he firmly decided to devote himself to the exploration of space while sitting on a high limb of a cherry tree.

		By 1916, when Dr. Goddard reached the limit of his own resources, the Smithsonian Institution gave him a grant that enabled him to continue his work on solid-propellant rockets and begin development on liquid propellant vehicles.

		Goddard, a solitary and scholarly man, was likewise inspired by the flights of fancy of science fiction authors, namely "The War of the Worlds," a classic story of a Martian invasion by H.G. Wells.
		Goddard applied for a research grant from the Smithsonian Institute in response to his dwindling personal funds in 1916, and to his amazement, received a $5000 grant for atmospheric rocket research.
		Despite the intensive and intuitive factual nature of his dissertation, Goddard was ridiculed for his more outlandish suggestions.(Emme, 88) Although this paper and some later press attention was something of an annoyance to Goddard, it was of huge significance to the development in rocketry in general.

	Robert Goddard
		Dubbed "The Father of American Rocketry," Robert Goddard had already experimented with two stage rockets and a variety of fuels by 1914.
		After 1929, in part after complaints from his neighbors, Goddard moved his rocketry experiments to New Mexico, where by 1935 his rockets had achieved speeds of up to 550 mph and heights of over a mile and a half.
		In July 1969, however, as Apollo astronauts headed for their rendezvous with history, the New York Times was forced to print a retraction of its 1920 editorial that ridiculed Goddard for suggesting that rockets would one day fly to the moon.

		Americans of the WWII generation will probably recognize the name of Massachusetts-born scientist Robert Goddard (1882-1945), who frequently made the pages of American newspapers and magazines in the 1930s with his rocket experiments outside Roswell, N.Mex. Baby boomers and their children, however, may never have heard of this pioneer in the construction of liquid-fuel rockets.
		Goddard emerges here as a paradoxical man who relentlessly promoted his work, winning hundreds of thousands of dollars in Guggenheim grants, while shunning offers to collaborate with other scientists.
		Goddard is not presented in such an idealized fashion in Clary's more objective account.
