The studio recording and music video of the song "Moonbeam" by Ronald Carlson about Robert #Goddard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enFfThH0v-w (the references in the chorus are to the cherry tree dream https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_H._Goddard#Cherry_tree_dream and the fate of the farm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goddard_Rocket_Launching_Site where the first rocket was launched).

Ok. I've been watching the live feed of #artemis just like a little kid! 😅 I heard hams on the #goddard net via the @wa3nan repeater say that the flight doesn't have #AmateurRadio gear for the hams on board to use. bummer

RE: https://mastodon.social/@PlanetariumBochum/116286014110422033
To my surprise spontaneous research into online newspaper archives lets me conclude that Robert #Goddard was pretty popular in German newspapers from 1919 to 1941: his achievements and plans were often misrepresented but he was usually treated on a par with other famous rocket pioneers, especially Hermann Oberth.

Der amerikanische Raketenpionier Robert H. #Goddard, der vor 100 Jahren seinen technischen Durchbruch erzielte, war in deutschen Zeitungen ab 1919 und noch bis 1941 (!) erstaunlich präsent und wurde als ähnlich wichtig wie Hermann Oberth gesehen, hat eine spontane Recherche in Online-Archiven ergeben: Links zu vielen der gefundenen Artikel unten in https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/03/20/der-artemis-ii-stack-steht-erneut-auf-der-rampe/

A folk song written earlier this year to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the #Goddard launch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCEN_JjU02c - it captures the event and its legacy well (and makes reference to Goddard's famous cherry tree and the fact that the farm where it happened is now a golf course).

Also interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAJCzRsJzzs#t=12m40s = the talk "Robert #Goddard and the Invention of the Liquid Fueled Rocket" from 10 days ago, stressing his (non-)interaction with the public and colleagues. Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnNIMT1RBGs = the "Robert Goddard First Launch Space Centennial Kick-Off Announcement" by the city of Worcester, Mass., from February and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJp6DHhfkKw = the video "Beyond Rockets" mostly on futuristic ideas.

During an event in Auburn, Mass., Saturday commemorating the 100th anniversary of Robert #Goddard launching the first liquid-fueled rocket, a speaker mentioned that in addition to the four people involved in the experiment it was also accidentally witnessed by several local children - including this father aged 10 at the time: in the recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxYYXWYLzHs#t=1h15m30s he recounts his vivid story from 1:15:30.

Heute vor 100 Jahren gelang Robert H. #Goddard der erste Flug einer Rakete mit flüssigem Treibstoff, der zwar nur 2 1/2 Sekunden dauerte und 12 1/2 Meter Höhe erreichte aber Geschichte schrieb: hier hat Goddard selbst die Überreste fotografiert (vom Flug selbst gibt es keine Bilder), jede Menge z.T. neu erschlossenes Material rund um die 1926-er Experimente ist in https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/03/12/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-12-marz-2026/#Mar16 verlinkt, darunter auch drei neue lange Videos.

The aftermath of the first successful flight - 2.5 seconds, 12.5 meters high - of a liquid-fueled #rocket 100 years ago #OTD as photographed by Robert H. #Goddard himself in Auburn, Mass. The flight itself was neither filmed nor photographed but there is plentiful other material about the history-making experiments available, linked from https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/03/12/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-12-marz-2026/#Mar16 (much of it just gone up).

Dear Senator/Representative:
I want you to prevent the permanent destruction of the Goddard Information and Collaboration Center at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, one of the most important scientific research repositories in the world.
Founded in 1959, the Goddard library holds roughly 100,000 volumes and has served as a vital research hub for scientists, engineers, and the public. This Republican Administration has moved to permanently close this institution, with many of its irreplaceable materials — including earth science research, climate data, and the documented history of American space exploration — expected to be discarded under federal property disposal rules. Much of this material has never been digitized and cannot be recovered once lost.
The alleged cost savings amount to $10 million per year — a rounding error in the federal budget
Sen. Chris Van Hollen is fighting to preserve this institution.
Join him in demanding that NASA comply with the 2026 budget directives regarding preservation of the Goddard Space Flight Center Library. The destruction of irreplaceable scientific and historical records is not a cost-cutting measure — it is a loss that cannot be undone. Congress must exercise its oversight authority and act before more materials are permanently lost.

Trump administration to close NASA research library at Goddard – The Baltimore Banner

NASA library closure in Maryland the latest in Trump cuts to space research
By Cody Boteler, 1/1/2026 3:51 p.m. ESTchat_bubble3
Astronomy & Space category imageThe Trump administration will close NASA’s largest research library, located at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, this week.
The library houses tens of thousands of books and documents, including journals and old articles that have not been digitized, according to The New York Times, which first reported on the facility’s Friday closure.
In-person library services were already paused, according to the Goddard Engineers, Scientists and Technicians Association, or GESTA, the union for employees at the facility. As of Dec. 9, employees were no longer allowed to check out books.
The union said in an update on its blog that library staff are working on a 60-day review of the collection and have been reportedly been given permission to save the most rare 10%-15% of it, with the remainder to be picked up by the General Services Administration. According to The Times, the federal government will store some of the collection in warehouses, and trash the rest.
The union wrote that employees were told that physical collaboration spaces in the library would close as of Jan. 2, and some “limited” digital subscriptions will remain.
NASA officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.

Shuttering the library is just the latest of sudden building closures at the Goddard campus, according to GESTA. The union has detailed multiple laboratory and office building closures, and said some employees and contractors were called in to help vacate buildings during the government shutdown.
Goddard is “NASA’s premiere space flight complex and home to the nation’s largest organization of scientists, engineers, and technologists who build spacecraft, instruments, and new technology to study Earth, the Sun, our solar system, and the universe,” according to its website.
The “unplanned” and “hasty” moves will “result in the loss of millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded laboratory facilities, including sophisticated and high-value equipment that will be difficult, if not impossible, to replace,” union officials wrote.

Astronomy & Space category imageThe Trump administration will close NASA’s largest research library, located at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, this week.
The library houses tens of thousands of books and documents, including journals and old articles that have not been digitized, according to The New York Times, which first reported on the facility’s Friday closure.
In-person library services were already paused, according to the Goddard Engineers, Scientists and Technicians Association, or GESTA, the union for employees at the facility. As of Dec. 9, employees were no longer allowed to check out books.
The union said in an update on its blog that library staff are working on a 60-day review of the collection and have been reportedly been given permission to save the most rare 10%-15% of it, with the remainder to be picked up by the General Services Administration. According to The Times, the federal government will store some of the collection in warehouses, and trash the rest.
The union wrote that employees were told that physical collaboration spaces in the library would close as of Jan. 2, and some “limited” digital subscriptions will remain.
NASA officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.

Shuttering the library is just the latest of sudden building closures at the Goddard campus, according to GESTA. The union has detailed multiple laboratory and office building closures, and said some employees and contractors were called in to help vacate buildings during the government shutdown.
Goddard is “NASA’s premiere space flight complex and home to the nation’s largest organization of scientists, engineers, and technologists who build spacecraft, instruments, and new technology to study Earth, the Sun, our solar system, and the universe,” according to its website.
The “unplanned” and “hasty” moves will “result in the loss of millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded laboratory facilities, including sophisticated and high-value equipment that will be difficult, if not impossible, to replace,” union officials wrote.
