    January 13, 1920
        An article in the New York Times ridiculed Clark University
        Professor Robert H. Goddard for claiming that rockets would
        work in space, where there is no air to push against. Almost
fifty
        years later, after Apollo XI landed on the moon in 1969, the
        newspaper retracted the criticism and apologized.

        Here's a page about Professor Goddard:
