Friend of the Show, host of “Star Talk Radio”, re-booter of Carl Sagan’s landmark television series “COSMOS” and world’s sexiest astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson has written the new book “Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier”.

A thought-provoking and humorous collection on NASA and the future of space travel.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is a rare breed of astrophysicist, one who can speak as easily and brilliantly with popular audiences as with professional scientists. Now that NASA has put human space flight effectively on hold—with a five- or possibly ten-year delay until the next launch of astronauts from U.S. soil—Tyson’s views on the future of space travel and America’s role in that future are especially timely and urgent. This book represents the best of Tyson’s commentary, including a candid new introductory essay on NASA and partisan politics, giving us an eye-opening manifesto on the importance of space exploration for America’s economy, security, and morale. Thanks to Tyson’s fresh voice and trademark humor, his insights are as delightful as they are provocative, on topics that range from the missteps that shaped our recent history of space travel to how aliens, if they existed, might go about finding us.

Hello, Hubsters

Wasn’t it wonderful to have Stephen on the air again and in such joyful spirits? From Monday’s brilliant back-to-work monologue (“Apparently, having 11 children makes you tough as nails”) to Thursday’s hysterical mix of Wheat Thins takedown, mass circumcisions, and closing aria, it was truly the week that was. And that doesn’t even take into consideration the fact that Stephen got Nancy Pelosi to okay future BKAD’s! All good, all great.

And I can tell you that from my perspective—and that of Trek fans everywhere–there’s a special treat coming up. In addition, Claire Danes, whose appearance was postponed,is getting her shot.

Before I move on, I’d just like to call everyone’s attention to an article in today’s New York Times on Mitt Romney’s SuperPac situation. No mention of Stephen, but all I can say is that whatever he and Jon conspired to do has nothing on the Mittster and his Paccies.

Onward and guestward….AND SEE BELOW FOR UPDATES ON THE DAILY SHOW GUESTS! Read more
