Who was Robert H. Goddard?\xa0

His theories on space exploration were so ahead of his time that they were mocked and ridiculed by colleagues and by the New York Times\u2026 but Robert Goddard persisted, and with very little resources, he overcame adversity and launched the world\u2019s first liquid-fueled rocket, ushering in the space age.\xa0

In 1903, the Wright brothers took their historic \u201cFirst Flight\u201d and got humanity off the ground. Just 23 years later, Dr. Robert Goddard\u2019s \u201cFirst Launch\u201d was the first step in taking humankind off the planet. 43 years later, in 1969, humans walked on the Moon!\xa0

Although admired by the scientific and aerospace communities, most people have no clue who Goddard is or the extent of his groundbreaking accomplishments and vision.\xa0

Charles Slatkin wants to change that.\xa0

Charles Slatkin is the founder of the Robert Goddard Project and the Wonder Mission. Part of this project includes the \u201cFirst Launch'' centennial celebration \u2013 a unique opportunity to leverage the incredible legacy of Dr. Goddard, the Father of Modern Rocketry- and recognize the achievements of today\u2019s scientists, engineers, educators, researchers and \u201cvisioneers.\u201d

Charles is a multimedia and internationally recognized \u201cwow factor\u201d pioneer, space evangelist, and visioner. Charles has an extensive background in \u201cwowing\u201d people through his expertise in science, film, video, audio and photography-and today, he\u2019s taken his talents from his professional career and applied them into the Goddard Project, reimagining Goddard\u2019s legacy with advanced storytelling technologies to help inspire and motivate a new generation of dreamers and \u201cvisioneers.\u201d
