Exactly 100 years ago today, a rocket rose from a quiet cabbage farm in Auburn, Massachusetts, and changed the course of scientific history. 🚀 On March 16, 1926, physicist Dr. Robert H. Goddard launched the world’s first successful liquid-fueled rocket from what was then the Asa Ward Farm and is now Pakachoag Golf Course. The flight lasted just 2.5 seconds and climbed 41 feet into the air, but it proved a revolutionary concept that would eventually make space travel possible—and yes, even a golf shot on the moon. On Saturday, people from across the region gathered to celebrate the centennial of the launch, recreating Goddard’s historic moment and sending smaller rockets skyward for the next generation to enjoy. Today, that launch site sits between the tee and green of Pakachoag’s 9th hole, marked by a granite monument on the fairway. The property became Pakachoag Golf Course in 1939 and remains a beloved public course operated by the Town of Auburn. #MassGolf #GolfHistory #NASA #M...
