The First Rocket
On March 16, 1926, a strange metal contraption went roaring up into the sky. It climbed until it was only a speck. The world’s first liquid-fuel rocket had just been launched.
That rocket was built by Dr. Robert H. Goddard, an American scientist. And he kept building better rockets through the 1920’s and 1930’s.
Another great rocket was invented by a German engineer named Wernher von Braun. Von Braun’s team built the V-2 guided missile. Later von Braun went to the U.S.A. His team built the rocket that launched the first successful U.S. satellite.
