T-Minus Space Daily

Robert Hutchings Goddard was an American engineer, professor, physicist, and inventor known as the godfather of modern rocketry. He is credited with creating and building the world's first liquid-fueled rocket, which was successfully launched on March 16, 1926. By 1915, his pioneering work had dramatically improved the efficiency of the solid-fueled rocket, signaling the era of the modern rocket and innovation. Our guest is Charles Statkin from the Wonder Mission about the centennial celebrations of Robert Goddard's pioneering work.
