German V2
The first rocket to reach space was the German V2 in the 1940s. The first spacecraft to achieve orbit was the Soviet Sputnik, launched in 1957.
The first rocket reached space on October 3, 1942. It was the V2 rocket made by the Germans as a ballistic missile to deliver bombs during World War 2.
The first monkeys in space were NOT in an aircraft, but in a V2 rocket made in Germany in WW2 and brought to USA after the war.
The first animals in space were fruit flies aboard a United States V2 rocket in 1947. (which are insects not animals) A Rhesus Monkey, called Albert II became the first monkey in space aboard another United States V2 rocket in 1949. The first dogs into space were Tsygan and Dezik aboard a Soviet rocket in 1951 - although not into orbit. The first dog into orbit was Laika aboard a Soviet Sputnik 2 rocket in 1957
the first rocket (the V2) was launched in 1942.

Germany's use of the V2 rocket during WW2 was the inspiration for the Space program. In fact many of the Scientists that worked on the V2 went to work for either Russia or America after the war.
If you mean the first to reach space, they say that a V2 German rocket reached Low-earth-orbit during testing in 1942.
Goddard did not create a rocket that went into space. He created the first liquid fuel rocket which was which lead to space rockets and for this is known as the father of modern rocketry. The first rocket to reach space was the V2 rocket made by the Germans during World War 2 as a weapon to deliver bombs.
