"And Away We Go: Rockets"

"Throughout his career, Goddard worked mostly alone."

"Most of his experiments took place on his aunt's Massachusetts farm"

"It began on October 19, 1899, when he was 17 years old."

"As he looked up, he had a vision of traveling into space."

"His dream was to send a rocket into space."

"Since that time, rockets have lifted hundreds of spacecraft and satellites into orbit around Earth

Goddard developed different kinds of rocket engines and launch frames

Goddard's experiments with rockets eventually made spaceflight possible.

Goddard planned to use rockets to send satellites into orbit around Earth.

Goddard's research was not important to many scientists at first

"In 1930, Robert Goddard was a Massachusetts-born scientist working almost totally alone."

"[That Saturn 5 rocket] weighed more than six million pounds."

"[Rockets] have sent unmanned spacecraft to Mars and Jupiter."

"Thirty-nine years after Goddard shot off his first rocket,... Neil Armstrong took his first step on the moon."

Robert Goddard helped build the rocket that took the astronaut Neil Armstrong to the moon.

Robert Goddard was a scientist whose work led to the Saturn 5 rockets, which were 30 stories tall.

Robert Goddard did most of his rocket research in his spare time on his aunt's farm.

Robert Goddard worked alone for many years to develop the rockets that led to space travel and exploration

Other Scientists did not take rockets seriously

Goddard did not like working with other scientists

The farm was too far away from other people.

Goddard wanted to keep his research a secret.

"Throughout his career, Goddard worked mostly alone."

"Most of his experiments took place on his aunt's farm"

"Rocket research was not considered a proper subject for a serious scientist."

"Robert Goddard once called himself a "one-dream-man."
