I don't know if anybody will find this as interesting as I do (and I hope this'll be the right forum for it!), but today is the 88th anniversary of the launch of the first liquid-fueled rocket by Dr. Robert H. Goddard. His 10-foot rocket traveled 41 feet vertically and 184 feet horizontally in a 2.5-second flight. The rocket was fueled by a mixture of gasoline and liquid oxygen.

In his honor, I think I'll put some Kerbals through their paces on rockets that are completely liquid-fueled. :)
