Goddard rocket research. US rocket scientist Robert H. Goddard (1882-1945) in his workshop in Roswell, New Mexico, USA, with one of his rockets. 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. Photographed in October 1935.
