Besides production photos featuring the magnificent sets constructed at the #UFA studios near #Berlin, it described the ground-breaking theoretical & experimental work, in the US, of #RobertGoddard, who had first successfully launched a liquid-fueled rocket in 1926, and that of➡️
first viable liquid-fueled rocket - on March 16.

For my class we had to choose 3 people from a field of studie so a did science mostly the subject of space here who i have chosen Galileo Galilei , robert goddard, Katherine Johnson for my subject. #illustration

Edward Pendray, Vice president of the American Interplanetary Society demonstrating how to tie 2 parts of the cone-shaped cap of the society's rocket are brought together to protect the parachute during flight. At the highest point in the flight an automatic contrivance opens the cap, and ejects the parachute, which brings the rocket gently back to earth.’ https://www.gettyimages.it/detail/fotografie-di-cronaca/edward-pendray-vice-president-of-the-american-fotografie-di-cronaca/515958218

#RobertGoddard had pioneered liquid-fueled rockets, but after the failed 1932 launch of the outsize AIS Rocket #1 designed by G. Edward Pendray & Hugh Franklin Pierce, their addition of liquid oxygen to prevent meltdowns was taken up by Goddard & by the Germans (von Braun et al).
99 years ago, #RobertGoddard launches the 1st ever rocket.
