On March 16, 1926, Robert Goddard launched his first liquid-fueled rocket in Auburn, Massachusetts.
Witnesses, including young Gerald Hastings, observed the first flight, which reached 41 feet in altitude.
The event was pivotal in rocketry, though remnants of the rocket were not preserved due to financial constraints.
