People pave the way for space travel

Last time, the scientific community had many activities to mark the 45th year since the Apollo 11 spacecraft landed on the moon. On this occasion, a little-known character was mentioned.

It was Robert Hutchings Goddard , who paved the way for 100 years of space travel before receiving a patent for rocket fuel.

About a century ago, Robert Hutchings Goddard was the centerpiece of mocking articles. However, today Dr. Robert Hutchings Goddard is recognized as the father of modern rocket engines .

In 1907, he noticed a cloud of smoke appearing from the shooting of a student-class classical rocket in the basement of the physical building of Worcester Polytechnic University. After many years of research, Goddard received two US patents in 1914. A license for missiles uses liquid fuel, the second is the use of solid fuel for missiles of two or three stories. According to the Daily Mail, Goddard developed the mathematical theory of boosters in 1916. By 1920, Dr. Goddard reported a scientific topic of a missile capable of bringing objects to the moon. However, there has been too much controversy about feasibility while no one is sad to experiment.

By 1926, Dr. Goddard had successfully built and tested the first liquid-propelled rocket that he had patented. And then more than 40 years later, Apollo 11 spacecraft visited Ms. Hang with this type of liquid fuel booster.
