Indeed many (most?) technology breakthroughs and great products start as "garage" experiments. - Aviation didn't start with someone rolling out a 747, it started with the Wright Flyer - something that barely flew with just the right winds. - Apple, Inc. literally started in a garage with an 8-bit computer with 8k ram and you had to provide your own case and power supply, monitor, and keyboard. - The early stages of modern rocket technology looked not much different than this experiment: Here's a video of Goddard testing at his Aunt's farm: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/a/ac/Robert_Goddard_footage.ogv/Robert_Goddard_footage.ogv.240p.vp9.webm https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/a/... > "The neighbors complained"
