- A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes
"A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes" is a book written by Robert Goddard describing his theories of rocket flight. The book was published in 1919 by the Smithsonian Institution.
The book [ [http://www.clarku.edu/research/archives/pdf/ext_altitudes.pdf A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes- Goddard 1919] ] is considered one of the most significant works of the modern science of rocketry.
