A brief survey of liquid rocket engines from Robert Goddard’s ground-breaking experiments in the 1930s to the first launch of the Army’s Saturn rocket in 1961. Uncredited, but attributed to Alex McCool, Jr., an engineer who began his career in rocket development in 1954 at the Army’s Redstone Arsenal in Alabama. McCool joined NASA in 1960 as a charter member of the Marshal Space Center where he was instrumental in design of the propulsion systems for the Saturn launch vehicles that would propel Apollo to the moon. He was later director of project engineering for Skylab and played a key role in design of the Space Shuttle propulsion elements.
