Podcasts about Goddard

Snow blanketed the launch pad, and the rocketeers sipped hot malted milk to ward off the chill. But the launch they conducted a century ago today turned the idea of space travel from fantasy to possibility – and provided the first small step toward the Moon. The rocket was designed by Robert Goddard, a physics professor at Clark University in Massachusetts. Goddard was brilliant but secretive. He refused to collaborate with other scientists, and seldom even talked about his research. Instead, he spent his time building, testing, and flying rockets. At the time he started, all rockets were powered by solid fuels, such as gunpowder. But solid fuels are inefficient and hard to control. So Goddard built a rocket powered by liquid fuels – gasoline and liquid oxygen. It was a potent mixture that provided far more energy per pound than solids. Goddard and his wife and assistants launched the first liquid-fueled rocket in history on March 16th, 1926. It was airborne for just two and a half seconds, and climbed just 41 feet. But it proved that liquid fuels could propel a rocket skyward. Goddard spent two more decades experimenting with rockets. German engineers used many of his innovations in the V-2, which bombarded England during World War II. Transplanted to the United States after the war, many of these engineers developed the rockets that boosted satellites into space – and sent astronauts to the Moon. Script by Damond Benningfield

There's no moon landing without Robert Goddard. This month marks 100 years since Goddard launched the first liquid fuel rocket on a farm outside of Worcester. Clark University is celebrating the man known today as the “father of modern rocketry.”

In this special Women's History Month conversation, Stephenie Goddard offers a clear call to action for ambitious leaders: stop disqualifying yourself before anyone else does. If you are waiting until you meet 100 percent of the qualifications to raise your hand, you are likely holding yourself back. Instead, Stephenie challenges you to lead with curiosity, articulate the unique value you bring beyond bullet points, and take strategic risks that align with what energizes you most. This episode will help you rethink how you position yourself for your next opportunity and give you practical ways to show up with confidence, even before you feel fully ready.Stephenie's career path was anything but linear. After starting in banking, consulting with PwC, and serving in HR at the International Finance Corporation, she eventually transitioned into the dental industry and joined Glidewell in 2006. In 2022, she stepped into the CEO role, becoming only the second person in company history to hold the title. Along the way, she learned that passion fuels mastery. When something genuinely interests her, she finds a way to get exceptional at it. She shares a powerful journaling exercise that helps clarify what you want to be remembered for decades from now, giving today's decisions deeper meaning and direction.As a woman rising in a male dominated executive space, Stephenie has faced moments of bias and misperception, including being mistaken for a secretary while sitting at the same leadership table. Rather than centering her career around those challenges, she focused on building solutions. She founded Guiding Leaders, a professional development program designed to equip dentists with stronger business and leadership skills. What began as a women focused initiative evolved into a more inclusive program that ultimately strengthened the entire organization. She also opens up about imposter syndrome, the evolving definition of mentorship, and the realities of balancing ambition with motherhood, reminding us that our children remember our presence more than our perfection.If you are in middle management and wondering how to make your next big leap, Stephenie's final insight is both simple and powerful: stay when it gets hard. Promotions often go to those who demonstrate resilience, loyalty, and the ability to lead through uncertainty. Invest in developing your people, even if it means they may eventually leave. Seek mentors in ways that feel authentic to you. Define what legacy you want to build, then let that vision guide your decisions. This episode is a masterclass in courageous leadership and a reminder that sustainable success is built through grit, growth, and a willingness to keep showing up.Links & Resources:Follow Suken on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sukenjain/Email Suken at: suken@synergysyncsolutions.comSynergy Sync Solutions Website: https://www.synergysyncsolutions.com/This episode was brought to you by Pivot Ball Change.

IX Sir Robert Victor Goddard Hablar de Sir Robert Victor Goddard no es hablar de un ocultista, ni de un médium, ni de un excéntrico seducido por la superstición. Es hablar de un mariscal del aire británico, ingeniero formado en Cambridge, oficial de inteligencia, estratega militar en dos guerras mundiales y director académico tras su retiro. Un hombre moldeado por la disciplina, la jerarquía y la observación técnica. Y precisamente por eso, sus experiencias anómalas resultan tan inquietantes. A lo largo de su vida, Goddard fue protagonista directo o indirecto de algunos de los episodios paranormales más citados del siglo XX: una fotografía con un muerto presente entre los vivos, una visión aérea de un aeródromo en el futuro, una premonición atmosférica antes de la Primera Guerra Mundial y un accidente aéreo anticipado en sueños por un tercero. Pero lo más desconcertante no es cada episodio aislado. 1. La “visión” de 1911: la guerra antes de la guerra Mucho antes de que Europa estallara en 1914, el joven Goddard, entonces guardiamarina, experimentó lo que él mismo describió como una “visión interna”. Desde la cubierta del HMS Victorious, observó una formación de nubes que adoptaba con precisión la forma de las Islas Británicas, mientras una masa oscura que él asoció mentalmente con Alemania y Europa continental parecía avanzar sobre ellas. La nube negra cubría parcialmente la blanca. Después retrocedía. Finalmente se disipaba. No escuchó voces. No vio apariciones. No perdió la conciencia. Lo que ocurrió fue otra cosa: una certeza absoluta e inexplicable de que Inglaterra sería atacada… pero no derrotada. Lo crucial aquí es su propia interpretación posterior. Goddard insistió en que aquello no estaba “en el cielo”, sino “dentro de él”. Es decir, no lo vivió como fenómeno óptico sino como acceso súbito a una información que aún no existía en el plano histórico. Cuando la guerra estalló tres años después, afirmó que jamás dudó del desenlace final. La convicción que nació aquel día no lo abandonó ni en los momentos más sombríos del conflicto. Desde una perspectiva parapsicológica, esto encaja con fenómenos de precognición intuitiva, donde la información futura no se percibe como imagen externa sino como conocimiento integrado en la conciencia. 2. La fotografía de Freddy Jackson: el muerto de la última fila. En 1919, dos días después de la muerte accidental del mecánico Freddy Jackson decapitado por la hélice de un avión, su escuadrón posó para una fotografía oficial. La imagen fue tomada el mismo día del funeral. Al revelarse la placa, detrás de uno de los oficiales, parcialmente oculto, aparece el rostro de Jackson. Sin gorra. Con la cabeza inclinada. Mirando ligeramente hacia un lado. El detalle más inquietante: sus compañeros lo identificaron inmediatamente. No hubo discusión interna en el escuadrón sobre quién era. Goddard, como oficial relacionado con el grupo, nunca negó la autenticidad de la fotografía. No la calificó de fraude ni de manipulación. Desde el análisis técnico moderno, podrían proponerse hipótesis como doble exposición o error de revelado. Sin embargo, el estudio Bassano, responsable de la imagen, no tenía antecedentes de ese tipo de fallos en retratos formales. El fenómeno se clasifica dentro de la tipología de “fotografía psíquica” o “aparición post-mortem en soporte físico”. Lo singular no es solo la figura, sino el contexto: un muerto enterrado esa misma mañana aparece integrado en una composición formal perfectamente estructurada. 3. El aeródromo de Drem (1934): el futuro observado desde el aire Este es el episodio más documentado y analizado de su vida. En 1934, Goddard sobrevoló el aeródromo de Drem, en Escocia. Lo vio abandonado: hangares deteriorados, ganado pastando, pistas inutilizadas. Días después, durante un vuelo de regreso, atravesó una tormenta extremadamente violenta. Pérdida de control, desorientación, descenso en espiral. Finalmente emergió bajo las nubes… y volvió a ver Drem. Pero no era el mismo Drem. Ahora estaba activo. Pistas asfaltadas. Hangares renovados. Aviones pintados de amarillo brillante. Mecánicos con monos azules. Actividad operativa. Lo más perturbador: ese esquema de colores (aviones amarillos de entrenamiento y overoles azules) no fue adoptado por la RAF hasta 1939 y 1940. Cuatro años después, Drem fue reactivado exactamente bajo esas condiciones. Este caso se encuadra dentro de los denominados time slips prospectivos: no un salto al pasado, sino una percepción temporal adelantada. Elementos recurrentes en este tipo de episodios: Condición atmosférica anómala (tormenta, niebla, distorsión lumínica). Sensación de “atmósfera encapsulada”. Efecto Campana. Percepción de irrealidad cualitativa. Invisibilidad aparente del testigo respecto al entorno. Goddard describió la escena como “más real que un sueño, pero distinta de la realidad ordinaria”. 4. Shanghái, 1946: el accidente soñado En enero de 1946, un oficial le relató un sueño vívido: un Douglas Dakota rumbo a Tokio, tormenta de nieve, tres civiles a bordo (dos hombres y una mujer), impacto en una costa rocosa japonesa. Todos muertos. Goddard desaparecido. Al día siguiente, Goddard sube a un Dakota. A última hora embarcan tres civiles: dos hombres y una mujer. Se desata una tormenta severa. Formación de hielo en alas. Pérdida de control. Aterrizaje forzoso en la isla de Sado. La única diferencia respecto al sueño: nadie muere. Aquí no hablamos de experiencia directa suya, sino de precognición transmitida por tercero. El patrón es extraordinariamente específico. La estadística pura no explica la coincidencia de: Modelo de avión. Composición exacta de pasajeros. Tipo de tormenta. Zona geográfica. Resultado casi idéntico. 5. La experiencia energética nocturna En su vejez, Goddard relató un fenómeno íntimo: una corriente energética que ascendía desde los pies hasta la cabeza mientras permanecía consciente en la cama. No era parálisis del sueño. No era sueño hipnagógico. No era pérdida de conciencia. Describió: Sensación eléctrica progresiva. Expansión de claridad mental. Voz interna nítida. Sensación de separación entre mente y cuerpo. En estudios contemporáneos de fenomenología anómala, esto se asemeja a: Experiencias extracorporales parciales. Estados vibracionales previos a OBE. Episodios místicos espontáneos no inducidos. Lo notable es que él no lo interpretó como alucinación. Tampoco como enfermedad. Lo vivió como acceso a un plano ampliado de percepción. Tras décadas de silencio, Goddard llegó a una conclusión radical para un militar racional: El tiempo no es estrictamente lineal. La conciencia no está confinada al presente. La realidad física no agota lo real. Se interesó por la hipótesis parafísica en ufología, OVNIS, sugiriendo que ciertos fenómenos no provienen del espacio exterior, sino de dimensiones coexistentes. No abrazó el misticismo ingenuo. No abandonó la razón. Pero aceptó que su experiencia vital le obligaba a revisar los fundamentos del determinismo clásico. Sir Robert Victor Goddard no fue un visionario profesional. No buscó notoriedad. No construyó una carrera sobre lo paranormal. Sin embargo: Vio una guerra antes de que comenzara. Observó un aeródromo cuatro años en el futuro. Sobrevivió a un accidente anticipado en sueños por otro. Conservó una fotografía donde un muerto aparece entre los vivos. Experimentó fenómenos energéticos conscientes en su vejez. No estamos ante un caso aislado. Estamos ante un patrón persistente de anomalías temporales y perceptivas en la vida de un individuo altamente entrenado en observación objetiva. Y eso es lo que convierte su historia en algo más que una anécdota: la transforma en uno de los expedientes más sólidos cuando se estudian intersecciones entre conciencia, tiempo y realidad física.
