Franklin TV: It’s Today (3/14/26) (Yikes!)

We Are Go for Launch at 2pm.

by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 03/14/2026

On March 16th, 1926 the world changed. We entered the space age. From an open field in Worcester, MA Dr. Robert Goddard launched the first liquid-fueled rocket. His rocket’s flight was reminiscent of the Wright Brothers at Kittyhawk; arcing off the ground, and flying for a few hundred feet. In that singular, brief moment space flight went from mad concept to scientific pursuit.

Today, Saturday 3/14 we mark the centennial of the space age. Franklin.TV and The Wonder Mission will cover the event from Worcester – live – on our All-Access channel, Comcast 6 and Verizon 26, and streaming on our YouTube channel.


We are in the midst of planning our live coverage, and we encourage other Public Access studios around the state and the country to rebroadcast our program and carry this momentous event along with us – live –TODAY!
