Goddard's 1997 book Beyond Recall was nominated for the Edgar Award Best Novel prize but lost out to Mr White's Confession by Robert Clark.

Goddard's book " Long Time Coming " won the 2011 Edgar Award for Best Original Paperback and was nominated for the 2011 Anthony award in the same category.

" Throughout the book Tom espouses Goddard's racial theories confusedly ; the narrator calls Tom's focus on Goddard's ideas " pathetic.

Goddard's book traced the genealogy of " Deborah Kallikak ", a woman in his institution.

The book begins by discussing the case of " Deborah Kallikak ," a woman in Goddard's institution, the New Jersey Home for the Education and Care of Feebleminded Children ( now Vineland Training School ).

Goddard's claims in the 1970 interview were disputed by John Parris in his book " Scapegoat " ( Duckworth ), published in 1991.

In the 1930s, Roswell was a site for much of Robert Goddard's early rocketry work.

At the time, Germany was highly interested in American physicist Robert H. Goddard's research.

For example, when Marilyn Monroe died in 1962, Joe DiMaggio, responsible for Monroe's arrangements, chose Westwood, not because of its celebrities, but because it was the resting place of Monroe's mother's friend, Grace Goddard, and Goddard's aunt, Ana Lower, both of whom had cared for Monroe as a child.

Goddard's first patent application was submitted in October 1913.

Goddard's first novel, Past Caring, was published in 1986.

Goddard's Solar Max satellite, launched in 1980, was repaired by astronauts on the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1984.

His highest score came in the last county match of the season, at Gloucestershire, which was Tom Goddard's benefit match.

Goddard's best-known work, The Kallikak Family, was published in 1912.

The work was an extended case study of Goddard's for the inheritance of " feeble-mindedness ," a general category referring to a variety of mental disabilities including mental retardation, learning disabilities, and mental illness.

Deborah was, in Goddard's assessment, " feeble-minded ": a catch-all early 20th century term to describe various forms of mental retardation or learning deficiencies.

Goddard was interested in the heritability of " feeble-mindedness " — and often wrote of the invisible threat of recessive " feeble-minded " genes carried by otherwise healthy and intelligent looking members of the population ( Mendel's laws had only been rediscovered a decade before ; Goddard's genetic shorthand was, in its day, considered to be on par with cutting edge science ).

The psychologist R. E. Fancher, however, has claimed that retouching of faces of the sort which is apparent in Goddard's work was a common procedure at the time, in order to avoid a " washed out " look which was common to early photographic printing methods ( poor halftones ).

The overall effect of The Kallikak Family was to temporarily increase funding to institutions such as Goddard's, but these were not seen to be worthwhile solutions of the problem of " feeble-mindedness " ( much less " rogue " " feeble-mindedness " — the threat of idiocy as a recessive trait ), and more stringent methods, such as compulsory sterilization of the mentally retarded, were undertaken.

The genealogical history of Goddard's family suggests his grandfather, Charlie Goddard, was born in 1888 as the illegitimate child of an English maid serving at Breckles Hall in Norfolk.

Goddard's biography depicted Gallo as a racist who often beat his wife and abused his children, and who had taken part in a brutal gang rape of a young boy while he was in prison.

A British version of the show was produced by STV Productions ( then known as " SMG TV Productions ") to replace Trisha Goddard's talk show on ITV in 2005.

The last led to a secret meeting of more than 20 senior judges to see whether Levin could be prosecuted for criminal libel ; there was no prosecution, and his accusations about Goddard's vindictiveness, deceit and bias were later acknowledged to be justified.

After Goddard's death, he was attacked in the columns of The Times by Bernard Levin, who described him as " a calamity " and accused him of vindictiveness and of being a malign influence on penal reform.

In The Times on 8 June 1971, Levin wrote ( referring to Goddard's assertion in 1970 that he had been " very unhappy " about Bentley being hanged ) that " if Goddard did indeed claim this, it was a breathtaking piece of hypocrisy, in view of his conduct of the case ".

Goddard's next role was for the three seasons of the CBS television series Lost in Space ( 1965 – 68 ), playing Major Don West.

Furthermore, Davis accused Gould of having misrepresented a study by Henry H. Goddard ( 1866 – 1957 ) about the intelligence of Jewish, Hungarian, Italian, and Russian immigrants to the U. S., wherein Gould reported Goddard's qualifying those people as " feeble-minded "; whereas, in the initial sentence of the study, Goddard said the study subjects were atypical members of their ethnic groups, who had been selected because of their suspected sub-normal intelligence.

However, the first documented instance where the possibility of electric propulsion is considered is found in Robert H. Goddard's handwritten notebook in an entry dated 6 September 1906.

Hulburt of the US Naval Research Laboratory and associates Gregory Breit and Merle A. Tuve of the Carnegie Institution of Washington explored the possibility of equipping Robert H. Goddard's rockets to explore the upper atmosphere.

Spaceflight became an engineering possibility with the work of Robert H. Goddard's publication in 1919 of his paper ' A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes '; where his application of the de Laval nozzle to liquid fuel rockets gave sufficient power for interplanetary travel to become possible.

Spaceflight became an engineering possibility with the work of Robert H. Goddard's publication in 1919 of his paper ' A Method of Reaching Extreme Altitudes '; where his application of the de Laval nozzle to liquid-propellant rockets gave sufficient power that interplanetary travel became possible.

The following got their names due to Robert H. Goddard's pioneering role in rocketry:

* Lord Goddard: My Years With the Lord Chief Justice by Arthur Smith ( Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London, 1959 ) is a sympathetic biography by Goddard's chief clerk.

Since Missing, Shea has starred in many films, including Armyan Bernstein's Windy City ( opposite Kate Capshaw for which he won a " Best Actor " award at the Montreal Film Festival in 1984 ); Stealing Home with Mark Harmon, Jodie Foster and Blair Brown ; the French thriller Lune de Miel with Nathalie Baye ( also known as Honeymoon, shot in both French and English ); Uri Barbash's epic Unsettled Land ( also known as Ha-Holmeim, Israel, 1987 ) with Kelly McGillis ; Alan Alda's comedy A New Life with Alan Alda and Ann-Margret ; Jim Goddard's The Impossible Spy with Eli Wallach, also shot in Israel (" Best Actor " Golden Panda Award in China ); the futuristic Freejack ( 1992 ) with Rene Russo ; and the comedy Honey, I Blew Up the Kid with Rick Moranis.

Goddard's most famous project is the Hubble Space Telescope, a unique science platform that has been breaking new ground in astronomy for nearly 20 years.

* ' The Mystery of Robert Goddard '; 37-page analysis of Goddard's fiction ( with especial reference to ' In Pale Battalions ' and ' Closed Circle ')

However, Goddard's efforts as an author and publisher bore considerable fruit.

Paulette Goddard's refusal to risk personal injury in a scene involving fire in Unconquered cost her DeMille's favor and probably a role in The Greatest Show on Earth.

Von Braun used Goddard's plans from various journals and incorporated them into the building of the Aggregat ( A ) series of rockets.

This is comparable to Robert Goddard's first test flight of his rocket design.

In this park there is a model of Dr. Goddard's prototype liquid fueled rocket and a Polaris Ballistic Missile ( Type A-1 ).

Goddard's story is also a continuation to " Antique "; Xander ends his friendship with Dracula.

* Jack Kerouac reads Dwight Goddard's A Buddhist Bible, which will influence him greatly.

The first tests succeeded in reaching over 100 feet, which compares to Robert Goddard's first test flight of his rocket design.

Over the next 10 years, Goddard's rockets achieved modest altitudes of nearly two kilometers, and interest in rocketry increased in the United States, Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union.

Goddard's work as both theorist and engineer anticipated many of the developments that were to make spaceflight possible.

Two of Goddard's 214 patents — one for a multi-stage rocket design ( 1914 ), and another for a liquid-fuel rocket design ( 1914 ) — are regarded as important milestones toward spaceflight.

Goddard's father further encouraged Robert's scientific interest by providing him with a telescope, a microscope, and a subscription to Scientific American.
