THE NEW YORK TIMES, February 5, 1920
* Professor Robert H. Goddard
* Early rocket experiments
* Flight to Mars?
The front page has a very bizarre report concerning early space travel. Professor Robert H. Goddard was currently experimenting with early rockets during this time. The front page has one column headings that read: "FIRST VOLUNTEER FOR LEAP TO MARS" "Capt. Claude Collins of Philadelphia Offers Himself to be Passenger in Rocket" "NAMES HIS CONDITIONS" "Requires That Communication Be Established and a Rocket Previously Landed on Planet" which is signed in type: Captain Claude R. Collins. (see)
Very interesting that this prestigious newspaper title would publish such a article and on the front page. Even till this day, a trip to Mars is still considered a far stretch.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete with all 32 pages, irregular along the spine, generally nice.
