==Biosphere 2 Candidate==
Prof. [[Les Golden]] was a finalist for the second crew of [[Biosphere 2]]. From Biosphere, Golden hoped to direct the [[Near Earth Asteroid Reconnaissance Project]], created by Golden in 1994 when he was a professor in the physics department at the [[University of Illinois at Chicago]].<ref>(1997), “Physics sails the world,” ''UIC News'' (University of Illinois at Chicago), April 30, p. 2</ref><ref>(1994), “Near Earth Asteroid Project,” ''Astronomy'', April, p. 22</ref> N.E.A.R. is a world-wide network of amateur astronomers and space scientists involved in the discovery and determination of the orbits of near-earth asteroids or more generally near-earth objects with possible earth-crossing orbits.
