Robert Goddard, coolest 20th C. scientist or no?

In what may be an apocryphal quote von Braun, when asked to explain the secrets of his rockets, said, "But you already know everything, from Robert Goddard's work!"



Bonus von Braun quotes:



"We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming." — Chicago Sun Times, July 10, 1958



"There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program: your tax dollar will go farther." — Reader's Digest, 1961



"I am convinced that before the year 2000 is over, the first child will have been born on the moon." — Taped TV Interview, broadcast on WMAL Washington, Jan. 7, 1972



"Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing."



"I have learned to use the word 'impossible' with the greatest caution."
