Wait what's that bit about Goddard? I live in Roswell and he's a Big Deal here, high school named after him, statue, etc. Did he steal Malina's glory???

So what I would say about this is that Goddard didn't specifically set out to steal Malina's glory himself. Goddard was a talented engineer and rocketeer in his own right. The main issue came from the government of the day. For the American government at the time, having Frank Malina and people like Jack Parsons (oh god) be associated with rocketry when they were suspected communists and deviants was a bad look. Goddard gets a lot of the credit for the early days of American rocketry because he was reasonably squeaky clean, and fit with the social narrative the government wanted at the time - ie. All American hero creates brave new technology and you can be just like him. Goddard's rockets did also fly to heights of 2.5km above sea level - he did have successes. The main issue here is that, in reality, Malina was just incredibly talented and his WAC Corporal rocket worked first time, launching an object to 73km above sea level - and he was Goddard's contemporary. Had he, and many of the talents at the JPL, not been accosted by the FBI America may very well have led the Soviets from the very start of the space race. Unfortunately it's very hard to teach little Timmy 1950s American values when the cool rocket man who put America into space is a communist who is friends with a kinky sex magik cultist. It's a shame really - given that attitude just perpetuates the same mistakes.
