Goddard Father of the Space Age

Author: Milton Lehman

Dr. Robert H. Goddard faced ridicule, failure, and countless obstacles to launch the world's first liquid-fueled rocket — and at that moment, he changed everything. This is the story of the dreamer who made space possible. This book is a testament to the power of big dreams and the people who pursue them. Goddard showed the world that one courageously followed idea can open entire worlds.

Includes excerpts from Carl Sagan's celebrated essay "A Cherry Tree to Mars" — a tribute from one visionary to another.
