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.

»Alle Macht den Räten (Sowjets) – Keine Macht der Partei«, das kann die Avantgarde der Diktatur des Proletariats im Sowjetrussland nicht ertragen und lässt die Rebellion von Kronstadt durch bolschewistische Truppen am 18. März des Jahres 1921 endgültig zerschlagen. Gegen das Vergessen!
