He came to my department and defended Bush's Moon/Mars mission.

We voiced strong opposition, since much of our funding would get cut to pay for it.
He tried to convince us that we should lose our jobs because "it's cool".

Yikes. Yeah, I could see the dislike after that encounter. - Krusty Jul 16, 11:07 5
- I like him because he's one of the few people that talks about science in a way that makes people not in the field get interested. -- nm - Krusty Jul 16, 11:08 4
  - I find him very condescending. He was on Colbert the other week, and his nose was in the air the whole time. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Jul 16, 11:14 2
    - I could just smash atoms into his face. -- nm - Diva Jul 16, 11:16
    - his guest last night was a bone fide idiot. -- nm - TFox Jul 16, 11:15
  - Too bad he's such a douchebag. Seriously, whenever he pops up on Jeopardy! I scream at the TV and don't even hear the response. - Diva Jul 16, 11:10
