I know several Dr.s who would rather not have their titled used if it isn't an academic setting.

He always has great ties.

Tyson's impassioned view on how the moon landings had a profound impact on our perspective towards the planet we live on almost brought me to tears.

It paved the way for Earth Day, the EPA, the Clean Air & Water Acts, and other positive steps necessary for the long term health of our indispensable lifeboat.

We need leaders who can inspire the best in us to bring about positive change. The future of humanity depends on it.

Earth Day was first observed in Wisconsin
Today Republicans have removed all the scientists in the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
