Robert Goddard's liquid fuel rocket 'Nell' achieved 41 feet in a historic 2.5 second flight, heralding modern rocketry and space exploration #NASA #Rocketry #Space #History #Innovation

This week, we had the pleasure of visiting Escola Balmes to entrust the little astronauts with a very special mission. 🚀 We tasked them with designing the vinyl for New Christa, the next rocket we'll launch… and the result was spectacular! ✅

We keep on working! 🔧
At Cosmic Research we’re proud to give you a sneak peak at Lovelace, the board that will command the improved version of our CanSat carrier rocket: New Christa. 🚀
In comparison to the previous board, this design is made entirely in-house.

A Century of Spaceflight: From Goddard’s First Rocket to Private Space Companies On March 16, 1926, Robert H. Goddard launched the first liquid-fueled rocket in Massachusetts, marking the beginning of modern rocketry. Though the rocket flew only 42 seconds and reached a height of 184 feet, it laid the groundwork for future space exploration. Progress was slow until World War II, when Germany’s V-2 missile demonstrated the potential of rockets both militarily and scientifically. The United States largely ignored rocketry in the 1950s, but the Soviet launch of Sputnik I in 1957 prompted America to establish NASA. President John F. Kennedy’s 1962 challenge to land a man on the Moon before 1970 accelerated the space program, culminating in Apollo 11 in 1969 with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the lunar surface. After Apollo, public interest waned, and funding cuts led NASA to focus on the reusable Space Shuttle. Despite its technological achievements, the shuttle program suffered delays, high costs, and two tragic accidents. By the 2000s, leadership in space shifted to private companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin, which now conduct frequent launches, partially fulfilling NASA’s original vision. Meanwhile, other countries, particularly China, have ambitious plans for lunar and Martian missions, highlighting the increasingly global and competitive nature of space exploration. The U.S. faces a less coordinated approach, with private corporations playing a dominant role in shaping the future of spaceflight.

Blue Origin's NG2 launch was scrubbed today due to weather. While I was looking forward to it, I'm hopeful that the next launch attempt will occur during the school day so that I can show my students in class live.

Nice launch tonight. I love seeing the nebula effect from the engines in space during the boost-back burn. #SpaceX #Rocketry
