It's been going on far longer than that of course. Back in the 1950's
the government approved Grade 10 Science text of the day in British
Columbia explained the working concept of a two stage rocket
incorrectly.
Having read Willy Ley's book "Rockets, Missiles & Space Travel" I knew
better of course, but for some reason my Science teacher didn't buy my
explanation, thinking that of course the text book must be right. It
was government approved, after all.
