Imagine a world in which we are all enlightened by objective truths rather than offended by them.

People generally don't recognize how long it takes to conceive, publish, and write a book.

We need to look at NASA, not as a handout, but as an investment.

Today, scientists sound the alarm on other environmental dangers. Vested interests still hire their own scientists to confuse the issue. But in the end, nature, will not be fooled.

My popularity does not derive from me pandering to people. People came to me. I don't tell anyone to follow me on Twitter. I don't tell people to like my Facebook page. I don't tell people to fill the venue. I'm offered to people, and then people come.
