    	On this date (March 16) in 1926, Robert Goddard launched the 
    first liquid-fueled rocket - the ancestor to most of today's modern
    boosters - from his Aunt Effie's property in Auburn, Massachusetts.  
    The flight lasted no more than 2.5 seconds and sailed only a dozen
    meters (41 feet) into the air, but it was more than enough to change 
    our future.
