...Reportedly opposed by Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski, whose state is home to NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Goddard directs robotic space missions; reports say Mikulski fears Bolden would favor manned spaceflight. Her office has declined to comment...
...Unemployment Olympics are the hastily planned brainchild of Nick Goddard, a gangly, angular man in small glasses and a navy blazer who runs from one event to the other, herding the 30-some-odd contestants around like an inexperienced babysitter at a children's birthday party. The former computer programmer has been without a job for less than two months and says the idea for the four-event competition - Telephone toss, Payday piñata, Pin-the-Blame-on-the-Boss and the "You're Fired!" race - just popped into his head one night. "Normally you think of things like...

"For some reason, medical insurance companies don't like to give away insurance to strangers." he says. Some people exchange business cards but the group's careers are so diverse - at one point, an unemployed opera...
...used ModelE, designed by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and one of the models used to produce the results of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The model does an excellent job of simulating climate change that resulted from volcanic eruptions in the past. That gave us confidence. What's more, a group repeated the calculations for the Pakistan-India scenario with a different model at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., and the results almost exactly agreed. Their research showed how the smoke from the fires would open up holes in the ozone...
Still, move along both rovers do. Spirit's next destinations are the comparatively nearby Goddard Crater and an outcropping of what might be volcanic material. Opportunity has just embarked on a long march toward Endeavour Crater, a seven-mile journey that - with the rover's slow speed and frequent stops and starts - will take two years to complete...
