Quote:

Neil deGrasse Tyson of the Hayden Planetarium [and Harvard alum] is a bit of a media whore with many appearances on Nova, History Channel and Science Channel ... but I find him very interesting/entertaining.

I've liked him since his decision to drop Pluto as a planet long before others did.



I met Tyson once, when the planetarium held an event for the first live images of Titan broadcast from the Cassini–Huygens space probe. Really nice guy. Not at all haughty or condecending like many of these media whores.
