In the 1930's dr. robert goddard began his experimentation with space travel. these were the forerunners of the apollo spacecraft crew's setting foot on the moon in 1969. where did dr. goddard bring these experiments to life?

It was actually on March 14, 1926 in Auburn, Massachusetts that D. Robert Goddard launched his first liquid fueled rocket successfully.

Goddard’s rockets made little impression on government officials. Only through modest subsidies from the Smithsonian Institution and the Daniel Guggenheim Foundation, as well as the leaves of absence granted him by the Worcester Polytechnic Institute of Clark University, was Goddard able to sustain his lifetime of devoted research and testing.
