i didn't really want to go there with this, but.....


Robert H. Goddard, the American father of modern rocketry, built and tested the world's first liquid-fuel rocket in 1926. His achievement is considered as significant as the Wright Brothers' first flight.


Wernher von Braun used Goddard's plans from various journals and incorporated them into the building of the Aggregat series of rockets. The A-4 rocket would become well known as the V-2.
