We are weeks away (in early 2026) from the 100th Anniversary of Robert Goddard's first "flight" of a liquid fueled rocket.
This topic is available for NewMars members who might wish to contribute links, images or text about Goddard or his work.
In post #3, we'll lead off with a collection of snippets gathered by Google.
The OpenFOAM project is on the verge of designing a nozzle for a solar heated engine for deep space flight. We will be applying principles worked out 100 years ago by Dr. Goddard.

This post contains a collection of snippets prepared by Google when asked about Robert Goddard:
Yes, American physicist Robert Goddard fired the world's first successful liquid-fueled rocket on March 16, 1926, in Auburn, Massachusetts, proving the concept of liquid propulsion, even though it only flew for 2.5 seconds to a height of 41 feet. This historic launch, using liquid oxygen and gasoline, paved the way for modern rocketry, much like the Wright brothers' flight for aviation.
Key Details of Goddard's Launch:
Date: March 16, 1926.
Location: An open field on the Asa Ward farm in Auburn, Massachusetts.
Fuel: Liquid oxygen and gasoline.
Duration: 2.5 seconds.
Altitude: 41 feet (about 12.5 meters).
Significance: It demonstrated that liquid propellants could effectively power rockets, a foundational step for future space exploration.95 Years Ago: Goddard’s First Liquid-Fueled Rocket - NASA
