Briefs: Minotaur IV update; Goddard's first liquid-fuel rocket

An update on the Minotaur IV vehicle, the first flight of which has been delayed since last year: Minotaur 4 rocket's third stage ready for testing - Spaceflight Now.
===
On March 16, 1926, Robert Goddard flew successfully for the first time a liquid fueled rocket:
/-- Robert Goddard Launches Space Age - Mass Moments
/-- Launching the Space Age in 1926 - Music of the Spheres
If you'd like to try your (virtual) hand at re-creating Goddard's first launch, you can install Mark Paton's "Early Rockets" add-on for the Orbiter space flight simulator. One of my test flights is shown below.
