7 Apr 2016	Nell, Esther and Aunt Effie - The story of the world's first liquid-fuelled rocket All of the rockets that have been used to send craft into space, to the Moon and planets can be traced back to March 16, 1926, when Dr Robert Goddard launched the first liquid-fuelled rocket. Goddard was one of the great pioneers of rocketry, and although his work was totally misunderstood and ridiculed by the New York Times and neglected by the government for many years, they both came to apologise and acknowledge his expertise years later, and NASA named one of its major research centres after him. In this commemorative presentation you can discover the significance of Nell, Esther and Aunt Effie.
