The Father of Rocketry
adapted from NASA

1 Dr. Robert Hutchings Goddard (1882–1945) is known as the father of modern rocket propulsion. While he demonstrated great skill as a physicist, Goddard also proved himself to be a genius in matters of invention. His work was so great that NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, was established in his memory on May 1, 1959.
2 The launching of Goddard's rocket on March 16, 1926 in Auburn, Massachusetts could be argued to be as important to history as the flight of the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk. Similar to the early accomplishments of the Wrights, Goddard failed to leave much of an impression on government officials.
3 The Smithsonian granted him a total of $10,000 by 1927, and through the personal efforts of Charles A. Lindbergh, he received financial support from the Guggenheim Foundation. Progress on all of his work was documented in the work titled "Liquid Propellant Rocket Development," which was published by the Smithsonian in 1936.
4 Goddard's work was ahead of its time in terms of technical detail, in areas such as gyroscopic control, steering by means of vanes in the rocket motor, gimbal-steering, and power-driven fuel pumps. During World War II, Goddard again offered his services and was assigned by the U. S. Navy to assist with the development of liquid propellant rocket motors and practical jet assisted takeoff.

Read the excerpt from part 3 of the call of the wild. but it was in giving the law and making his mates live up to it, that buck excelled. dave and sol-leks did not mind the change in leadership. it was none of their business. their business was to toil, and toil mightily, in the traces. so long as that were not interfered with, they did not care what happened. billee, the good-natured, could lead for all they cared, so long as he kept order. the rest of the team, however, had grown unruly during the last days of spitz, and their surprise was great now that buck proceeded to lick them into shape. what theme is most supported by the ideas in this excerpt? good leaders are strong and intelligent. loyalty can be a very powerful force. only the strong survive in the wilderness. we are all ruled by our natural instincts.
