Goddard rocket launch tower, 1940
Goddard rocket launch tower. Launch tower for one of the rockets built by the team led by US rocket scientist Robert H. Goddard (1882-1945). Fuel was injected by pumps from the fuelling platform at left. Despite receiving little recognition during his lifetime, Goddard is now hailed as a father of modern astronautics. He explored mathematically the feasibility of reaching high altitudes using rocket propulsion, and in 1926 built the first liquid-fuel rocket. His speculations about Moon rockets were ridiculed by his contemporaries, and his achievements were only recognised after his death with the dawn of the Space Age. This test launch took place on 21 March 1940, in Roswell, New Mexico, USA.
