If you're an adult and you choose not to believe in science, fine, but please don't prevent your children from learning about it and letting them draw their own conclusions.

I like to regard myself as someone who's capable of critical thought, that is to say, who can evaluate claims.

NASA is an engine of innovation and inspiration as well as the world's premier space exploration agency, and we are well served by politicians working to keep it that way, instead of turning it into a mere jobs program, or worse, cutting its budget.

Everyone, red state, blue state, everyone supports space exploration.

Kids deserve arts, and it's just as important as science, math, history, English or athletics.

To witness history and science being made in front of your eyes is the rush.

Yeah, it is, because it's a real discovery of your inner resources, you know. That's what my character is all about and what my playing is all about. But to get up there and just go inside and draw out something that makes you feel good first and foremost.

Strictly speaking, the idea of a scientific poem is probably as nonsensical as that of a poetic science.
