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.

ALT On a snowy March 16, 1926, Dr. Robert H. Goddard rests his hand on the testing frame supporting his liquid fuel rocket at Ward Farm in Auburn, Massachusetts. A wooden door is propped up at an angle next to the frame where Goddard\u2019s assistant, Henry Sachs, later sheltered after lighting the rocket.
