[net.space] Happy Birthday Robert Goddard!

keithl@sri-unix (09/07/82)

If you want a good excuse for a party...
Tuesday, October 5, 1982 is the 100th anniversary of the
birthday of Robert Goddard, the first man to launch a liquid 
fuel rocket (in 1926).  We are going to have a party at the
Oregon Museum of Science and Industry at 7 P.M., and locals are
invited.  I've heard rumors that the California M.S.I. and the
Minneapolis L-5 group are planning parties also.

While you're celebrating the birthday of this pioneer, keep in mind that it
is also the 25th anniversary of another pioneer--SPUTNIK, to whom we owe
the gratitude for pushing us into the space age.  Anyone ever think what
would (or more aptly, WOULDN'T ) have happened if that little Vanguard
had gone first?  No Apollo and maybe no Americans in space...
