He is extraordinarily well-spoken, has passion for his subject, and has the ability to convey his enthusiasm. Not all that many scientists have had these gifts -- Steve Squyres is one, and Carl Sagan was another. There are maybe another five or six scientists in the world today who possess these gifts to the same degree. I'm very glad that Dr. Tyson seems to be aware of his gifts, and intends to use them for the betterment of science and of mankind. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
