"Professor Goddard does not know the relation between action and reaction and the need to have something better than a vacuum against which to react. He seems to lack the basic knowledge ladled out daily in high schools."
--1921 New York Times editorial about Robert Goddard's revolutionary rocket work.
"Correction: It is now definitely established that a rocket can function in a vacuum. The 'Times' regrets the error."
NY Times, July 1969.

I took the same image one time or another, going to look for it: in the area just to the right of center of the brightest area there is what appears to be a "defect". At least this is what I thought I had in my image until I looked at this one. Looks like a donut... sitting at 3 o'clock.
