Robert H. Goddard was devoted to the research and development of all the essential aspects of the modern rocket. Goddard’s interest began in a magic moment. In the New England autumn of 1899 Goddard was a 17-year-old high school student who climbed a cherry tree and while gazing down, he experienced a kind of epiphany, an image of a vehicle capable to carrying him to Mars. He swore at that moment he would make this his life’s task. Exactly one year later and then every October 19 Goddard climbed that same tree to recollect that vision.
Come for a dose of inspiration from some of the greatest (and at times oddest) minds of history. The table is set. Come eat.
