Where did Robert Goddard get his funding for his work with rockets?
During his early studies, Robert Goddard funded his rocket experiments from his own pay and from money provided by Clark University. However, the funds coming from these sources, as well as later grants from the Smithsonian Institution and the Carnegie Institution, were relatively small in size. Goddard had to make do with fairly small amounts of funding until the Guggenheim family started to provide money in 1930.
