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

"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 Goddard’s fierce devotion to her husband kept his memory alive, and built a legend Esther Goddard was meticulous, devoted, and fiercely in control of the narrative. While Robert Goddard is remembered today as the father of modern rocketry, a key reason we remember him at all is she ...

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

Did you know rocket sounds travel differently depending on the time of year? Atmospheric acoustics helps explain when (and why) you hear sonic booms: acoustics.org/how-the-season-affects-i...

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.
