Robert Goddard launched the world's first liquid-fueled rocket 100 years ago in Massachusetts, achieving a historic 2.5-second flight that reached 41 feet before crash-landing in snow and ice. To commemorate the milestone, Ars Technica staff members shared their most memorable rocket launches, including a 2010 Space Shuttle Endeavour night launch and a Delta 1 rocket sighting from 1977.
