The Robert H. Goddard Statue & Rocket in Roswell, New Mexico

There's a rocket launch
site in downtown 
Roswell.

The details become clearer

 as Eric & I approach.

   

Eric looks up at the rocket
while Dr. Goddard makes
observations & readies the
rocket for launch.






Dr. Goddard, with funding from the Smithsonian Institution and Daniel and Florence Guggenheim Foundation, moved his  work on rocketry from Massachusetts to o the New Mexico, where he was able to build and launch rockets with payloads.  He was a visionary who anticipated the development of the German V-2 Rocket and foresaw rocket development that would reach the moon.
