What was Final Jeopardy for April 21 2011?
The final category was Scientists The clue was: At the time of the Apollo 11 moon landing, his widow said, "that it was his dream, sending a rocket to the Moon" The answer was: Who was Robert Goddard
Where did Robert goddard set up his first launch site?
The moon
Did Robert h goddard travel to the moon?
No, Robert H. Goddard did not travel to the moon. He was a pioneer in rocketry and is known as the "father of modern rocketry" for his contributions to the development of liquid-fueled rockets. His work laid the foundation for space exploration, including the eventual moon landing in 1969.
What are some neat facts about rockets?
Rockets have been used for over a thousand years for activities such as warfare, fireworks, and space exploration. The first liquid-fueled rocket was built by American engineer Robert H. Goddard in 1926. The Saturn V rocket used during the Apollo missions to the Moon remains the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful rocket ever built.
How did Robert hutchings goddard effect the world?
Robert H. Goddard is often regarded as the father of modern rocketry due to his pioneering work in liquid-fueled rockets. His experiments in the early 20th century laid the groundwork for space exploration, demonstrating the principles of thrust and propulsion that are essential for rocket technology. Goddard's innovations ultimately contributed to the development of space travel, satellite technology, and the eventual moon landing, profoundly impacting science, technology, and our understanding of the universe. His legacy continues to influence aerospace engineering and exploration today.
What was Robert Goddard's contribution to rocket science?
Robert Hutchins Goddard's most important achievement was building the world's first liquid-fueled rocket and testing it. In doing this he solved many technical problems such as fuel valving for throttle, start and stop, fuel injection, engine cooling and ignition. Goddard developed the technique of having the liquid oxygen cool the combustion chamber on its way from the fuel tank. This method is still in use and therefore his investigations have definitely improved the knowledge of space travel. Robert Goddard's contributions to missilery and space flight would make a lengthy list. Below are some of Dr. Goddard's firsts. Ø Explored the practicality of using rocket propulsion to reach high altitudes and even the moon (1912) Ø Proved that a rocket will work in a vacuum, that it needs no air to push against Ø Developed and shot a liquid fuel rocket (March 16, 1926, Auburn, Mass.) Ø Shot a scientific payload (barometer and camera) in a rocket flight (1929, Auburn, Mass.) Ø Used vanes in the rocket motor blast for guidance (1932, New Mexico) Ø Developed gyro control apparatus for rocket flight (1932, New Mexico) Ø Received U.S. patent in idea of multi-stage rocket (1914) Ø Developed pumps suitable for rocket fuels Ø Launched a rocket with a motor pivoted on gimbals under the influence of a gyro mechanism (1937)
What took the astronauts to the moon?
The Apollo missions' were based around the Saturn V rocket - the only rocket ever flown that was powerful enough to reach the moon.
How does a rocker travel from earth to the moon?
The rocket fires it's engine and pushes out enough energy to escape earth orbit and send it to the moon, where the moon's gravity grabs it and brings the rocket into orbit or into the surface of the moon. It's takes a lot of energy to send a rocket to the moon. A Saturn V moon rocket was needed during the Apollo space mission. If you have ever stood next to a Saturn V moon rocket at a museum, you will see it takes a lot of energy to send an object to the moon.
What was the name of the first spacecraft to take humans to the moon?
Launched by the Saturn 5 rocket (the largest rocket ever built), the first spacecraft to take men to the moon was the Apollo spacecraft.
Is Saturn five the biggest rocket ever made?
Yes. The Soviet N1 Moon Rocket is only 5 meters or so shorter.
What type of rocket was used to carry the astronauts to the moon?
The Saturn V rocket was used to carry astronauts to the moon during the Apollo missions. This rocket remains the largest and most powerful rocket ever built and was essential for launching the spacecraft from Earth's surface to lunar orbit.
Which rocket was used to send man to the moon?
The Saturn V rocket was used to send astronauts to the moon during the Apollo missions in the 1960s and 1970s. It remains the tallest, heaviest, and most powerful rocket ever brought to operational status, and it played a crucial role in the success of the Apollo program.
