These Inventions and News Stories Are INSANE | No Snobs or Knobs Ep 984

from Two Old Farts Making Noises · host David and Steven The Two Old Guys

Send us Fan MailThis week on No Snobs or Knobs, Ep 984, we blast off into one of the greatest “wait… that’s it?” moments in science history: Robert Goddard’s first liquid-fuel rocket flight — a launch that lasted just 2.5 seconds, climbed about 41 feet, and landed roughly 184 feet away in Auburn, Massachusetts on March 16, 1926. Tiny flight. Massive consequence.It may have looked like a wobbly farm experiment at the time, but that little rocket — fueled by gasoline and liquid oxygen — became the breakthrough that helped change the future of modern rocketry. What lasted less time than a bad sneeze helped open the road to space travel, satellites, moon missions, and every giant rocket that came after it.In classic No Snobs or Knobs style, we take a hilarious look at how one of the most important launches in history was over almost before anyone could brag about it. It’s science, history, absurdity, and banter all rolled into one beautifully explosive episode.Catch us live every Wednesday, broadcasting on Monday, and find us wherever you get your podcasts.#NoSnobsOrKnobs #RobertGoddard #LiquidFuelRocket #RocketHistory #SpaceHistory #FirstRocket #ModernRocketry #ScienceHistory #HistoricLaunch #AuburnMassachusetts #NasaHistory #GoddardRocket #EngineeringHistory #SpaceInnovation #RocketScience #WeirdHistory #HistoryPodcast #SciencePodcast #BanterAndNews #2Point5SecondFlightSupport the showOur Mediahttps://linktr.ee/tofentertainmentOur Merchhttps://2oldfarts.vip/
