"Professor Goddard does not know the relation between action and reaction and the need to have something better than a vacuum against which to react. He seems to lack the basic knowledge ladled out daily in high schools."
--1921 New York Times editorial about Robert Goddard's revolutionary rocket work.

"Correction: It is now definitely established that a rocket can function in a vacuum. The 'Times' regrets the error."
NY Times, July 1969.

NJAG party

By JohnMiksits at Thu, 06/26/2008 - 9:52pm

During the May meeting several members suggested we have a party again. Phil, Jim P, and I have been looking at several restaurants for ideas. The plan was to decide by the July meeting. If any of you folks have an idea, please share it with us.
