Had an awesome time today at the special Goddard event at the Hanover Theater. I was tabling with the Aldrich Astronomical Society, handing out stickers and answering space questions. It was great! #space #goddard100 #rocketscience
Robert Goddard, bundled against the cold weather of March 16, 1926, holds the launching frame of his most notable invention—the first liquid-fueled rocket. (Wikipedia) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_H._Goddard#/media/File:Goddard_and_Rocket.jpg

"This test was very significant, as it was the first time that a rocket operated by liquid propellants traveled under its own power." -Robert Goddard describing a rocket launch that occurred #OnThisDay in 1926

A century after Goddard’s first launch, rocket noise is no longer just a technical issue, it’s a societal one.
ASA plays a critical role in addressing the growing global challenge of launch acoustics: https://doi.org/10.1121/AT.2025.21.1.73

Esther Kisk was part of all Robert Goddard's space endeavours. It's great to see her getting the recognition she deserves.

How loud is NASA’s Space Launch System? Loud enough that acoustics plays a critical role in vehicle design, safety, and success. Listen to Across Acoustics to find out: www.buzzsprout.com/admin/1537384/episodes/1...

People still ask: Was Saturn V really that loud?
ASA researchers broke it down - decibels, distance, and why it still matters today.

On March 16, 1926, Robert Goddard launched the first liquid-fueled rocket. That 41-foot flight sparked a century of innovation and some of the loudest sounds humans have ever made.
