5. Robert Goddard (1882-1945) Video of Goddard’s life At 16 became interested in rockets due to reading the book by H.G.Wells titled:"War of the Worlds" 1919 paper "A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes" talked of sending a rocket to the moon. He was dismissed as a "Crank" for thinking we could go to the moon. 1926 First liquid-fueled rocket shot into the air - 14 ft high. 184 ft down range Held 214 patents in rocketry at his death.

6. Wernher Wernher von Braun(1912-1977) On right side of four door foldable, we will add a picture of von Braun after we write the notes under the tabs. Under tabs write the following: German By age 22 had Doctorate in physics Age 24, director of Germany's military rocket development program October 1942: the start of the space age (Wernher von Braun launched a rocket for the German military that hit a specific target 120 miles away.) 1945 Hitler ordered the execution of von Braun and 100 other rocket scientist to keep the "enemy" from getting their hands on their expertise. Wernher von Braun was able to get all of his team to American troops before Hitler's SS men could get to them to execute them all. 1946 Entire German team reassembled in White Sands, Texas. US Space program underway! List of Objectives: To learn how we explore space. To explore some of the technology used for space exploration. To learn about some famous space explorers.

7. Monday Nov 14, 2011 Hi Guys! Sorry I am not there. I have a touch of the flu, I think, and am not able to make it in. Feeling really lousy. However, I have every confidence that you can finish these notes today without me. I believe we ended with the next slide…The Space Race. Make sure you have all of the info before moving to the next one. I added drawings to show how you should add the notes along with the pictures. This will hold true for the rest of the pages. Starting with The “Space Race” cont., continue adding the notes about Yuri 1961 – 1966 on the same two pages we started the other day. Add pictures as you go.

10. Directions for next page Turn to the next comp book page. Title the page “TO THE MOON!” Cut out and add the timeline labeled to the moon. Continue adding notes to the left and right (on both pages) including pictures that go with the dates. Items in Blue should be a link to a short video clip on the topic.
