(dc) demotions

not only is pluto no longer a planet (a development i pretty much agree with), but the "Exploration of the Universe Division" here at NASA Goddard was renamed the "Astrophysics Science Division," which, in my mind, is a tragic demotion. my heart goes out to all those gsfc employees who used to get to put "Exporation of the Universe Division" on their business cards, but now are stuck with just "Astrophysics Science Division."

granted, this doesn't rank with real world problems, but...still. someone's got to give this some due diligence grieving.

it's a bit like when they changed my friend's title from "Chief of Space" to "Chief, Space and Life Sciences Division."

all good names must come to a re-org.
