On this date (March 16) in 1926, Robert Goddard launched the
first liquid-fueled rocket - the ancestor to most of today's modern
boosters - from his Aunt Effie's property in Auburn, Massachusetts.
The flight lasted no more than 2.5 seconds and sailed only a dozen
meters (41 feet) into the air, but it was more than enough to change
our future.
