I don't know why, But I think Reid is my favorite of the 4 main sci-show hosts (Hank, Michael, Caitlin and himself) love it when I see him host one of these.
Indeed. I didn't particularly care for either him or Caitlin at first but they've grown on me. I'd prefer they leave Sci Show Space to them entirely and have the others keep to the main show.
I bought a book on Goddard in grade 7, thus started my love of space and astronomy. I am also old enough to have seen the entire Apollo missions live.
There's Dr. Goddard's lab in the Cosmosphere in Kansas, one of the best independent space museums in the world. They did start out the show explaining who Dr Goddard was then they lit rags on fire by soaking them in liquid oxygen and other cool rocket things. If your ever in Kansas totally go it's a very cool museum.
Dr.Robert H.Goddard built and launched the first liquid fueled rocket in 1926.
So that's who Jimmy Neutron named his dog after...
Epic
So that's where Jimmy Neutron got the name for his dog!
I would like to see the Great Minds explore these people: Gerhard Frind (examed electric arcs), Irving Langmuir (examined gas chemistry), Joseph Henry (electrical inductors and first head of the Smithsonian).
Hey, I'm from Worcester, Ma. Excellent pronunciation, Reid.
2:21 Robert Goddard built the first regeneratively cooled engine in 1923. It was reported that he later rejected the idea as too complex. The video's description of regenerative cooling I believe to be inaccurate. Fuel then as now was the cooling agent rather than liquid oxygen.
Very well explained 🙂
Not surprised The New York times called him out, and then didn't correct themselves for decades.
I love how Massachusetts seems to do so much, although a lot of it was fighting the British and the government in Massachusetts...
All the missions in space start with Goddard.
Turns out I have a blood relationship with this guy.
Science is a very revealing thing.
If you guys keep doing what you do, if you keep opening the minds of our younglings, my children will never have to face the corrupt educational system I live in right now. Thank you SciShow Space, thank you SciShow News and all the related channels for giving us, the common mortals, a means to educate our offsprings in a bias free environment.
My grandfather had an award that was a model of the Goddard Rocket. It was about 4 inches (10 cm) high. He received from NASA when he worked at the Goddard Spaceflight Center in Greenbelt, MD. I remember looking at it on the shelf when I was a child. I don't know what it was for. I will have to look at it the next time I visit my uncle, who has it now. Goddard Spaceflight Center has a great little mini Air and Space Museum. When DC is packed and you've got to take the kids somewhere, it is a great alternative.
0_0 I saw that quote from Times yesterday while watching a Kerbal Space Program video.
Great Minds: Robert Goddard, Original Rocket Scientist.
I think it's hard to find someone who doesn't like rockets.
Older British people.
Incredibly right-winged conservatives. A lot of them don't believe in science and think trying to go to space is a waste of time because they already know the origins and the ending of the universe, so there's nothing more to learn, and it's just a waste of tax money.
Amelia Hartman
And yet they go to church every Sunday. What a crock!
Bob Hope lmao. i wanted to comment that!! :D
Was that a double entendre?
this makes me want to watch the movie blue october again. . . favorite movie about science!
My great great grand father❤️
I live in Auburn Massachusetts, the town that he launched his first tests and first rockets in. That was before the town complained about the noise, and he moved to New Mexico.
I AM TOO!!'
you two meet sumwhere
Ok. Now let's talk about Tsiolkovsky!
Hooray for correct pronunciation of the city's name.
Gotta love rockets
Massachusetts represent
what about wernher von braun? he was one of the great minds behind apollo and the moon landings, since he designed the saturn 5
Worcester MA! Somebody knows about us! I thought we were a pretty obscure city. When traveling, I mention that I'm from Worcester MA, and my family is like, "Just say Boston! Nobody knows about Worcester."
3:30 Ah, the good old days when Newspapers published retractions. Nowadays all they do is call their critics terrorists.
racists
ChiP2sumP Sexiest
You should do one of these on Wernher von Braun!
Of course, when you talk about von Braun, you're going to have to talk about the ...less desirable parts of his life, too
Nazi
I agree he was the true godfather of modern day space slight.
Archeopteryxman421 Like what? The fact that he had to enlist in the Nazi party or die? Either you're with them or you're against them. During that time, different morals, of course.
Von Braun was a true man of science and just advanced it knowing following what he loved. Nothing more complex. Northing more simple. He did what he did and I really look up to him.
I accept that premise. I've even used it to defend von Braun at times, when people just blindly declare him a Nazi. However, there is a massive controversy about his role, and any biography will have to acknowledge that whether he was willing to join or not, he was a SS-Officer, and slave labor was used to build the V-2.
I am proud to share a last name with this man.
Rockets are indeed the first steps into space for most races they allow for initial testing in the void. But to traverse the distance between the stars a much more powerful mechanism must be developed.
@@eclogite Been reading to many channelled alien communications?
Hey Reid, say "rocket" one more time you beast
Fuck yeah, Goddard!
Trying to figure out if it's shadow or if you have a super crazy collar.
Am I the only one who recognizes the name Goddard because of Jimmy Neutron's mechanical dog; Goddard? xD
We just lit a rocket... Rockets explode!
Suck it times! Space ftw!
What about Pedro Paulet Mostajo? Peruvian engineer and inventor his work was the foundation for Goddard, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and Hermann Julius Oberth all fathers of aeronautics.
Maybe you should make a video about him
no-one even knew about him until 1927 when he had written a letter that he apparently did in 1895, but it was never authenticated that he actually did.
that German Braun said that in Belgium he helped aid in rocket science a little bit with his motor designs.
and no I did not copy his design because his design was insane and doesn't look like it can fly at all, and there is no existing patents for his Avion Torpedo, just a few pictures of this fat capsule, the wings and the rockets in the wings and by the pictures they look like a battery of solid rockets anyway rather than advanced liquid-fueled rockets like mine.
there are also no existing drafts, pictures or ANYTHING for his rockets he supposedly flew before that.
not even written recordings and dates with a pencil.
But ultimately yes, he did aid rocketry and like myself should be remembered for it but he wasn't the foundation for me.
Kept working on what he believed in despite criticism because Science!
Wow who the heck is this new guy
Now I know where Jimmy Neutron got his dog's name from! *mind blown*
4:20 for science!
4:20 blaze it
Good video, would suit a school environment perfectly. But, I think it went without saying that Newton's Laws explained why a rocket would work in a vacuum. Also, Tsiolkovsky suggested the use of rockets and the use of liquid engines to travel through space in 1902. Goddard began his experiments with solid rockets in 1919.
*He published his pamphlet on sounding rockets achieving higher altitudes than lighter-than-air balloons in 1919.
Hermann Oberth! even more original!
no, he designed no rockets at all and just copied my designs and Konstantins theories.
Mr.Goddard,It is hard to soar with eagles when to have to waddle with turkeys,but anyone who can read knows of your contribution to space travel sir.
it's weird to see Reid with glasses; he looks like a silicon-valley inspiration-speech giver
the V2 was actually called A4 by its developers, but named V2 for the public as a propagande programm. real name is agregat4
They must have confused V2 with √2
Arf arf!
It's called "Woosta" Massachusetts.
Make fun of our accent again and I will cut you. We have new England accents damnit! And we are proud!
I'm from CT and went to WPI.
it would be cool if you did one with the russian and german rocket scientists.
I take it there were people around at the time that know the Times' argument was flawed.
Far more important as the father of rocketry is Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. Even American rocket experts acknowledge that.
Wasn't Goddard's quote "Every vision is a joke until the first man accomplishes it; once realized, it becomes commonplace." a response to a reporter's question regarding the New York Times and not to the article itself?
Some attention should have gone over the Goddard's original design as shown in the video and why they didn't work.
Here's two hints; low center of gravity, high aerodynamic center.
Also: pendulum fallacy.
I do wonder, why do people criticizes on others who are thinking about something that others would label as outlandish? Why do people often say it is impossible eventhough they haven't even tried it yet. This is Science and for me one day everything shown in sci-fi whether it is an anime or manga or real movies - one day all those flashy tech would become something that could be used in a commonplace. One example of that is Captain Kirk in Star Trek and his "phone". Well, frankly speaking we even have made better phones than he does. We can use internet on smartphones today haven't we plus use calculators even a compass.
congratulations you pronounced Worcester the correct way(for it's inhabitants)
now just tell me that the fizzy drink i have is a soder and when you get to a stop light you can make a rut t'hurn
I really, really, really like your profile picture.
me too! save it. it's all yours my friend
Im just a Goddard passing by.
So a rocket doesnt work without liquid oxygen running around the combustion chamber?
You look much more better with hair. :) Without your voice, I wouldn't recognise you.
Fun fact: Liquid oxygen is blue.
Well combustion is a primitive way of propulsion anyway.
Von Braun was the father of the moon rocket. Robert Goddard was the father of the rocket, period.
Matthew Seligman Robbert Goddard is also the father of the Idea of bringing Rockets to the Moon.
This was proven true when Werner was inspired by his idea and make bigger Rockets with stronger engines to reach the moon.
From what I can tell, the New York times calls everyone out, and almost everyone proves them to be jackasses.
good job pronounced Worcester properly (not sarcasm)
WOOSTAH!!
Fun fact : Neil deGrasse Tyson was born on the same day as Goddard
Great vid :)
"Wooster" yes that's how you pronounce it. Like Worchestershire is "Wooster-sheer"
It's Worcester not worcestershine. I know because I live in Auburn, the town right next to Worcester. And the town in which he launched his first rockets. Trust me, we love the rocket here in Auburn. If we have a town flag, it would be a white background with a blue rocket.
Oh I know, I was giving an example that others might be aware of.
WPI for the win
1895 Pedro Eleodoro Paulet Mostajo (July 2, 1874 - January 30, 1945) was a Peruvian inventor who allegedly in 1895 was the first person to build a liquid-fuel rocket engine and, in 1900, the first person to build a modern rocket propulsion system. German V-2 inventor Wernher von Braun considered Paulet one of the "fathers of aeronautics." The National Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C., has a small plaque honoring the memory of Paulet. Wikipedia 2017
He was born in the same city as me. Not scientific, but I thought it was cool.
Same
how do rockets work in vacuum of space????
why did you not watch the video first? why would you ask beforehand?
It works exactly the same way as in air. Actually air hinder the efficiency of the rocket because of friction.
Djorgal As well as drag and compression.
Take the garden hose,and let it rip.
That kick that you feel is the reason rockets work in vacuum.
The more fluid that gets expelled in certain amount of time the more trust you have.
In rocketry that means:higher velocity exhaust gases give better ISP.
Only problem you have is the temperature.
after watching the video. I still don't understand how a rocket moving in space actually works but maybe i should of wrote how i don't understand newton's third law and how its affect work in space?
Im wondering no arguing " Werner von Braun are best than Goddard" in this comment
TIL who Jimmy neutrons dog was named after
Wernher von Braun lifted up the V-2 as well as the Apollo 11 ^_^
Americans always stealing ideas lol same as the british, German V-2 inventor Wernher von Braun considered Paulet one of the "fathers of aeronautics." Robert H. Goddard robbed Pedro Paulet's project which was demonstrated in an Invention festival in Argentina, even the Russians as Alexander Scherschevsky recognize Pedro Paulet as father of aeronautics. Americans did the same to Nikola Tesla and sure to other unknown Greatest inventors.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_Paulet
Not to be confused with liquid fueled rockers tho they also reach for the stars and may sometimes explode...
HELL YEAH 3rd COMMENT
4:20, Praise it.
lol @ the video length. if only it had had more to do with pot.
A SUPER POWERED MIND
A MECHANICAL CANINE
Are you sure of that?? Americans always stealing ideas lol same as the british, German V-2 inventor Wernher von Braun considered Paulet one of the "fathers of aeronautics." Robert H. Goddard robbed Pedro Paulet's project which was demonstrated in an Invention festival in Argentina, even the Russians as Alexander Scherschevsky recognize Pedro Paulet as father of aeronautics.

i like how the scientific community in the US has transitioned to the metric system
Next great minds, Werner Von Braun?
At least the Times was quicker to admit their mistake than the pre-modern Catholic Church -- they took centuries to exonerate Joan of Arc.
Of course, she was later named a saint, so I suppose that balances out ... well, if you exclude the whole "being burned at the stake" thing.
Newspapers -> ill-educated, unfounded opinions. Reminds me of a quote from my favourite fictional policeman "I don't believe anything I read in the newspapers, Daley! Not even the date!"
He's my mom's mom's mom's second cousin. So I'm related to him :)
Hes my dad
Someone once said to me the first founder was an idiot but I later learn that he was the stupid one by stealing my idea and concept.
And I quote "Success is not fatal nor does failure"
Fun fact: I’m related to this man. My last names even Goddard and everything
Rly? RLY?! Liquid rocket engine was invented by Tsiolkovsky ("Investigation of outer space rocket appliances" 1903).
*Soooo SciShow Space WTF?!*
He thought about using liquids as a rocket fuel, but he never actually made a liquid rocket. Goddard was the first person to build one though. Leonardo Da Vinci came up with the idea of making a flying machine, using rotating blades to lift itself, but he Isn't seen as the inventor of the helicopter because he never actually built one.
he came up with the idea to use liquid fuel to power a rocket.
I was the one to actually engineer, design, build and fly one.
he thought of it happen, I made it happen.
Tsiolkovsky did the theory... Goddard did the practical.
Naziboos BTFO
0:26 / 1:55 / VidTitle - *Rocket Scientist?!*
You claim to be an educational channel. You have utterly FAILED here in your opportunity to explain the difference between science & engineering. Robert Goddard was a rocket ENGINEER.
Wernher von Braun also was a rocket engineer. Everyone who does engineering to design and build rockets is a rocket engineer, NOT a scientist. A scientist is a person who investigates into nature. Not a person who builds things that do things. Rockets are the latter.
Notice how no one calls the Wright Brothers "airplane scientists". With airplanes, people seem to be able to not conflate science with engineering. But for some reason, when the vehicle changes to a rocket, just about everybody talks this way. It is utterly erroneous. And for those who should know better to pass on teaching those who do not, that is inexcusable.
Hello !!! I get your point. Actually the people who involve themselves in propulsion research are researchers/ applied physicists. Propulsion/combustion studies are concepts of applied physics.
