Dr. Tyson gives a passionate speech before a Senate committee about inspiring innovation in America.

I love this guy...I will start watching it now, too bad about a third of the people in the Senate couldnt pass a 5th grade science test if their life depended on it. and about half of the house.

Here is a link to the NASA spin offs that Dr.Tyson was talking about. It's a very detailed document with 224 pages of information.

When I could afford to be a member of the Natural History museum, I used to enjoy reading Neil's columns in their monthly publication.

And I am SO sad about what happened to Shepherd Book in Serenity.

My old avvie was the Fruity Oaty Bar Girl. I'll have to resurrect it. :D

One of the first times I saw him was on "The Big Bang Theory", he had a very funny moment with the main character...

It never ceases to amaze me how many Firefly and Serenity fans there are out there.

BTT: there are some excellent articles by Dr. Tyson in Natural History. His column is a must read.

Here's a good one:

I always liked that show, but I have to say I was more of a Farscape fan. I was deeply distressed when they took that off the air.
