EDITORS COMMENTS
The Robert H. Goddard Collection at the Roswell Museum in New Mexico, USA, is a testament to the incredible achievements of Dr. Robert H. Goddard, known as the father of modern rocketry. This print captures the essence of this remarkable collection. Dr. Goddard's groundbreaking work revolutionized space exploration by developing the first liquid-fueled rockets, which paved the way for today's advanced space technology. The photograph showcases his rockets, papers, and workshop - tangible evidence of his genius and dedication. In 1926, Dr. Goddard's initial attempt reached a modest height of only 12.5 meters but served as a crucial stepping stone towards greater accomplishments. By 1930, at Roswell itself, he achieved an astonishing speed of 800 kilometers per hour and soared to a height of 600 meters with his liquid-fueled rocket. This historic collection not only represents scientific progress but also embodies human determination and curiosity about our place in the universe. It serves as an inspiration for future generations to push boundaries and explore uncharted territories. Visitors to this exhibit are transported back in time to witness firsthand how one man's vision transformed our understanding of space flight forever. As we gaze upon this print from Science Photo Library capturing moments frozen in history within the Robert H. Goddard Collection at Roswell Museum, we cannot help but marvel at humanity's ability to reach for the stars through innovation and relentless pursuit of knowledge.
