    Is he going to speak about leadership and ethics, or stars?

    Anyone who is in the area should go see him. He's just a great speaker. Youtube some videos of him.

    We're ignoring the REAL issues like the space program and people would rather pay attention to CHARLIE SHEEN TWEETS! What happened to our SOCIETY?!

    (Okay, someone had to say it)

    Was that young Roger Clemens asking Tyson the question?

    He should talk about Star Trek technology and maybe Star Wars if he has the chance. Then make him choose between the two.

    Interesting. He will be here in late May for AAM. That is when I will be seeing him. That will be pretty specific to the role of museums, though.

    Tried to attend today, and the place was over max capacity before the 7pm start time, with a few hundred people still lined up outside and curling around the building... :(

    The lecture will be posted online later.

    Seriously. I was one of the hundreds turned away. Poor planning on UH's part. I was so looking forward to this.
