Neil deGrasse Tyson, aka The Drama Queen.

What was his big contribution to science anyways?

He was part of the group that downgraded Pluto from planetary status. How’s that for making a worthwhile contribution to science? That laugh line even showed up on “Big Bang Theory”.

I don’t know, but Director of the Hayden Planetarium doesn’t sound like that heavy of a job. I mean he’s probably a great guy and isn’t that bad in explaining things, though he’s a bit sophomoric in a dumb kinda way rather than say sophomoric in a fun sort of way as Carl Sagan, or sophomoric in a genius way as in Richard Feynman, or the sophomoric in the WTF? way from Stephen Hawking.

In other words it’s his skin color for the field of intellect he’s followed that makes him stand out much, like a white boy being an NBA Shooting guard or point guard.
