Rocket (1926) by Robert Goddard

The Chinese invented the rocket as early as the 3rd century AD. However, it was not until the 20th century that it began to take on its modern form. Robert Goddard invented the first modern rocket fueled by a mixture of gas and liquid oxygen in 1926. The rocket, which he named Nell, rose to an altitude of 41 feet in 2.5 seconds before crashing into a cabbage field.
