During an event in Auburn, Mass., Saturday commemorating the 100th anniversary of Robert #Goddard launching the first liquid-fueled rocket, a speaker mentioned that in addition to the four people involved in the experiment it was also accidentally witnessed by several local children - including this father aged 10 at the time: in the recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxYYXWYLzHs#t=1h15m30s he recounts his vivid story from 1:15:30.

Finished reading "ADHD Is Awesome" by Penn & Kim Holderness.
Part memoir, part family story, Penn shares his ADHD journey while Kim offers the partner's perspective. They're clear that no two diagnoses are alike, but this is their story and experience.
Relentlessly positive — sometimes to a fault — but the practical strategies feel genuinely lived-in and earnest. A warm entry point for anyone newly navigating an

The aftermath of the first successful flight - 2.5 seconds, 12.5 meters high - of a liquid-fueled #rocket 100 years ago #OTD as photographed by Robert H. #Goddard himself in Auburn, Mass. The flight itself was neither filmed nor photographed but there is plentiful other material about the history-making experiments available, linked from https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2026/03/12/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-12-marz-2026/#Mar16 (much of it just gone up).

Very proud and excited to vote in the NDP leadership race today!!
This is not the first time I've voted in a Federal leadership race... more on that later but first, my choices! I considered only voting for two people, but I ended up filling in all 5 choices.
#1: Tanille Johnston @…
#2: Avi Lewis @…
#3: Heather McPherson
#4: Tony McQuail
#5: Rob Ashton
Why?
You might ask why I would publicize my choices. I don’t expect others to of course. It is a privilege and a right in Canada to exercise your democratic choice freely and privately, but I also think there is value in knowing how others voted.
#1 why Tanille? #electoralReform and proportional representation myself, I didn't just want to pick my top two. I wanted to make a statement on each of these candidates an influence each one.
To be blunt, Heather is #3 because she is the middle-of-the-road candidate. She is an excellent representative as MP and has gathered the support of other MPs including my own, but while I would be OK with her leadership, I would see her as a continuation of the status quo, and that is not what the NDP needs as a party, nor is it what Canada needs as a country.
We desperately need a vigorous and clear alternative to the Centre-but-mostly-Right Liberals, and the MAGA-wannabe Conservatives. The only way to do that is to catch the attention of Canadians and inspire them. I am not sure that Heather has the ability to do that, and if we continue with the same leadership crew in the NDP, I am not confident that the policy choices will be strong enough to inspire and attract Canadians.
That is why Tanille and Avi are far better options.
#4 Why Tony:
Tony is the real deal. Honestly, I would have loved to rank him higher. He represents the true life blood of rural, socially progressive, environmentally aware, Canadians. You should go check out his platform. I am so glad that he was able to participate fully in the race and we need his voice in the NDP.
#5 Why not Rob?
I have been an active member in my Union for more than 10 years. Unionism is The Way. Rob is representing a division within the union movement that claims that working people can't have jobs if the environment is put first. This is a lie.
We need union leaders that look to the future and speak honestly to people. We need union leaders who are genuinely progressive, not ready to do the bidding of corporate masters to the benefit of a few.
Working people need honesty, and when an industry is on decline, a clear path to new, excellent, union, jobs!
