233 years ago, Monday, March 16, 1789, famous German physicist & mathematician Georg Simon Ohm (1789-1854), namesake of the unit of electrical resistance, the “ohm” (symbol: Ω), was born at the city of Erlangen in Bavaria, Germany.

As a school teacher, Ohm began his research with the new electro-chemical cell that had been invented by famous Italian scientist Alessandro Volta (1745-1827). Using equipment of his own invention, Ohm found that there is a direct proportionality between the potential difference (voltage) applied across a conductor & the resultant electric current. This relationship became known as known as Ohm’s Law.

The left-hand photograph depicts a “Cyberman,” one of the characters from the popular long-running British science-fiction television series “Doctor Who.” The Cybermen were noted for their proclivity to continually repeat their infamous catchphrase “Resistance is Useless!”
Note: The original Doctor Who catchphrase, “Resistance is Useless,” was also used later on in the British science-fiction television series “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” Eventually, this phrase was co-opted by the American science-fiction television series “Star Trek” in a modified form stated as “Resistance is Futile,” that has also become a pop-culture catchphrase, & which is occasionally encountered in a mispronounced form as the nonsensical mondegreen “Resistance is Feudal.”
The undated right-hand photograph depicts the visage of Georg Simon Ohm, namesake of the ohm -- the scientific unit of electrical resistance.

March 17, 1804, famous American mountain man Jim Bridger was born near Richmond, Virginia. Bridger is one of the foremost names of the early American West. First journeying to the West when he was 18 years old, Bridger quickly set about exploring this deep and uncharted wilderness. He was among the first Americans to see the Yellowstone region, famous for its geyser “Old Faithful,” and he was also one of the first to see Utah’s Great Salt Lake, which he thought was an arm of the Pacific Ocean due to its salinity.
During these great explorations, Jim Bridger was famous for his strong constitution and toleration for the different environments, of which he encountered all that can be imagined. By the time he had finished exploring the Rocky Mountains of the West, he had walked from present day southern Colorado to the Canadian border. After finishing his time exploring the wilderness, Bridger became involved in the lucrative beaver pelt trade, establishing the Rocky Mountain Fur Company in 1830.
Eventually his business grew to the point that he built his own trading post, the aptly named Fort Bridger. This post was located conveniently on the Oregon Trail, where he garnered great business from the pioneers heading west. While he owned the post, he still found time to explore his beloved mountains, at one point finding an alternate pass for the Oregon Trail and shortening it by more than 60 miles. However, this rough lifestyle would finally take its toll on Jim Bridger, with all the ailments caused by numerous mountain journeys forcing Bridger to retire to Missouri, where he would die in 1881.

March 16th 1926: Robert H. Goddard, the father of modern rocketry; launches the world's first successful liquid-fuel rocket at Auburn, Mass. The rocket, propelled by liquid oxygen and gasoline, went up to an altitude of 41 feet in 2.5 seconds and landed 184 feet away.
Goddard received little public support for his research during his lifetime. Though his work in the field was revolutionary, he was sometimes ridiculed in the press for his theories concerning spaceflight. As a result, he became protective of his privacy and his work. Years after his death, at the dawn of the Space Age, he came to be recognized as one of the founding fathers of modern rocketry
The cherry tree dream:
He became interested in space when he read H. G. Wells' science fiction classic The War of the Worlds when he was 16 years old. His dedication to pursuing rocketry became fixed on October 19, 1899. The 17-year-old Goddard climbed a cherry tree to cut off dead limbs. He was transfixed by the sky, and his imagination grew. He later wrote:
"On this day I climbed a tall cherry tree at the back of the barn… and as I looked toward the fields at the east, I imagined how wonderful it would be to make some device which had even the possibility of ascending to Mars, and how it would look on a small scale, if sent up from the meadow at my feet. I have several photographs of the tree, taken since, with the little ladder I made to climb it, leaning against it.
It seemed to me then that a weight whirling around a horizontal shaft, moving more rapidly above than below, could furnish lift by virtue of the greater centrifugal force at the top of the path.
I was a different boy when I descended the tree from when I ascended. Existence at last seemed very purposive."
For the rest of his life he observed October 19 as "Anniversary Day", a private commemoration of the day of his greatest inspiration

When Howard Hughes conceived the Hercules, it was the world’s largest wooden aircraft, which is why it was nicknamed the Spruce Goose—but don’t let Mr. Hughes hear you say that! This aerial photo, taken on February 17, 1947, shows how just how enormous the plane was as it was being built in Playa Vista, north of L.A. International Airport. This photo also allows us to appreciate the logistics involved of transporting it to Long Beach for its only flight.
