About this listen

 Goddard, born in Worcester, Massachusetts, on the 5th of October 1882, was just an ordinary American boy. But a boy with a dream: to launch a rocket into orbit. His passion grew when his father gave him a telescope and when later, as an adolescent, he read H. G. Wells’ “War of the Worlds". In 1907, as a student at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, he began building rockets fuelled by gunpowder.


Look up is the podcast of the Italian Space Agency that tells the characters and exploits of the great space adventure.

Script Daniela Amenta. Post-production Paola Pagone. Visual design Paola Gaviraghi. Editorial Coordination Giuseppina Pulcrano and Manuela Proietti, Asi Multimedia Unit.
