I don't go around replacing ceiling fans, light switches or the wiring in my house because they don't burn out. Why should I settle for light bulbs that burn out?

I think Goddard has to ride the short bus as well. The Freds and Toads of his day knew that his experiments would go nowhere. I remember reading in grade school about how a MA paper wrote something about a rocket experiment missing the moon by a few hundred thousand miles or so.
I guess those V2 rockets Germany launched at England were just clever fakes. I just wish we had known before we wasted all that money launching satellites.
