[For you nerds] Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson to speak at UH

Cmon on man don't say that. Now I'm really hoping they post it online.

 

If you have any way to share the recording, hook a brother up.

 

Loved it. Got out a bit late (Had a bit of a drive home), but it was worth it. Guy is such a fantastic speaker and very funny, and he made some really great points. Very entertaining, very interesting, and very informative and inspiring.

Dude is definitely one of my favorite people. Not something that should have been missed. Though the line did end up REALLY long, we got there about 5:30 and ended up in a good spot in line, but 15 minutes later it wrapped around the building.

 

Thank you for asking that, I wanted to but I knew I'd never get picked to ask.

His answer made sense, more sense than most of what I've heard, but still, he also admitted that DC and New York are connected. I still don't agree with the decision just because you are putting two right there by each other, and have nothing in the center, its all on the east coast and west coast.

 

Right after he answered my question, I sent him this:
@neiltyson Thanks for answering my Space Shuttle question. I think I understand a little better now. #AtLeastLessAngry #JSC

For anyone else, it's gonna take me a couple of days. I need to feed it into my computer and clean up the audio.

 

when they told us that we wouldnt get in they said there would be a recording posted online...heres to hoping!

stupid ass friends making me late

 

Can you type out a couple of good quotes?

I really want to recall what exactly he said to close the show, some kind of thing about moving to Germany...

 

Sure thing. I'm going to feed the whole thing into my computer after work. I used a free iPad app to record it, so I've gotta kind of ghetto rig it to feed audio into my computer. It'll work, and I'll be listening to it again as I do.

 

So THAT's what Sinbad is doing now...

 

Would have been cool for you guys to actually post what his answer was.

 

I can't remember the last big speaker UH had, but I do remember that it was anticipated that Cullen would fill up. They ended up broadcasting it on closed circuit all over the campus. Why didn't they do that again?

 

So all that stuff up there where I posted his answer didn't work for you? Dang.

Good name though. Better if you're actually Brad Jordan.

 

Sorry about that, I missed it. His answer does make a ton of sense. Doesn't make the sting hurt any less though. We really need to fix up the JSC and take more pride in it.

 

Hey y'all, just want you to know I haven't forgotten about you. I haven't had 3 consecutive hours at home to dump the audio into my computer. Crappy free app.
