Sad that Dr Tyson chooses not to address society the way Carl did. What an amazing human being he was. We need his wisdom, empathy and kindness today more than ever.
Inspiration enough for Neil deGrasse Tyson to go on to receive the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal, which is the highest award given by NASA to a non-government citizen.
I started out in NDGT’s high school class at Bronx Science but didn’t make it to when this was written, spent too much time at the adjacent Harris Field where the partiers hung out.

Now repost the letter Sagan that wrote to Chuck Berry. It's a great one.
So did the meet happen?

Especially with research grants becoming a thing of the past. Let's hope it's not for long🤞🏼
Priceless
I have to admit that it took me twice as long to read his letter, and I think you know why. 😉
I wish everyone spoke like Dr. Sagan: clearly, concisely, logically, and gently, but with passion.
He was a true gentleman.
