Dr. Goddard Transports Rocket
Dr. Robert H. Goddard tows his rocket to the launching tower behind a Model A Ford truck, 15 miles northwest of Roswell, New Mexico. 1930- 1932. Dr. Goddard has been recognized as the " Father of American Rocketry" and as one of three pioneers in the theoretical exploration of space. Robert Hutchings Goddard was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, on October 15, 1882. He was a theoretical scientist as well as a practical engineer. His dream was the conquest of the upper atmosphere and ultimately space through the use of rocket propulsion. Dr. Goddard, who died in 1945, was probably as responsible for the dawning of the Space Age as the Wright Brothers were for the begining of the Air Age. Yet his work attracted little serious attention during his lifetime. When the United States began to prepare for the conquest of space in the 1950 s, American rocket scientists began to recognize the debt owed to the New England professor. They discovered that it was virtually impossible to construct a rocket or launch a satellite without acknowledging the work of Dr. Goddard. This great legacy was covered by more than 200 patents, many of which were issued after his death

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in the history of space exploration. Dr. Robert H. Goddard, known as the "Father of American Rocketry" is seen towing his rocket to the launching tower behind a Model A Ford truck in Roswell, New Mexico between 1930-1932. Born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1882, Dr. Goddard was not only a theoretical scientist but also a practical engineer with an ambitious dream - conquering the upper atmosphere and ultimately reaching space using rocket propulsion. Despite his groundbreaking work, Dr. Goddard's contributions received little recognition during his lifetime. However, when the United States began preparing for space conquest in the 1950s, American rocket scientists realized their debt to this New England professor. They discovered that constructing rockets or launching satellites without acknowledging Dr. Goddard's work was virtually impossible. His legacy lives on through more than 200 patents he obtained throughout his career, many of which were issued posthumously after his death in 1945. This image serves as a reminder of Dr. Goddard's pioneering spirit and unwavering determination to push boundaries beyond Earth's atmosphere. It symbolizes the beginning of humanity's journey into space and highlights how crucial his contributions were to laying the foundation for future advancements in space exploration.
