What does he need?
He has a large space flight center named after him, [reachable by BITNET],
there is a space institute named after him, and there is an award named after
him.  I don't think there are any Goddard lasting constants, formula,
equations, but I may be wrong [probably had it surpased by standing on
"other's shoulders" as Newton said].  He's got lots of respect.
