The Robert Goddard centennial was featured in the @nytimes! 🚀 A century after his groundbreaking rocket launch, the Times looks back at Goddard’s visionary research and revisits the scientific breakthrough that transformed spaceflight. nyti.ms/4uz0Mq2

A 2.5-second rocket flight that heralded decades of discovery in space! Today marks 100 years since the first successful test of a liquid-fueled rocket. Robert H. Goddard's achievement would have appeared unimpressive by most measures: His rocket flew just 41 feet in the air, landing in a nearby cabbage patch. Liquid-propelled rocketry has been the backbone of spaceflight ever since. 📷 by Esther Goddard on March 16, 1926 (Clark University Archive)

🚀 On this day in 1926, Clark‑trained scientist & professor Robert Goddard launched the world’s first liquid‑fueled rocket. We're proud to celebrate the 100th anniversary of this scientific breakthrough & highlight its connection to the #ClarkU of today ➡️ clarku.edu/goddard
