because intuition has nothing to do with rocket science although people do consider it a type of rocket science
Actually Robert Goddard did not make the first rocket. The chinese did in the first century a.d. But Robbert Goddard made his first rocket in the early 1920's witch led on to the Bazooka
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)
Robert Goddard did not invent the rocket. The Chinese did over 2000 years ago...
what i thought he did plus i don't think there was Chinese over 2000 years ago lol
Robert Hutchings Goddard ( Born October 5, 1882 – died August 10, 1945) was an American engineer, professor, physicist, and inventor who is credited with creating and building the world's first liquid-fueled rocket. Goddard successfully launched his rocket on March 16, 1926, which ushered in an era of space flight and innovation.
