Event Details
American physicist Robert H. Goddard successfully launched the world's first liquid-fueled rocket in Auburn, Massachusetts, on March 16, 1926.
The rocket flew for only 2.5 seconds and reached a height of 41 feet, but this brief flight was a critical milestone in the development of modern rocketry and space exploration.
