http://www.theresident.net - When I walk around Times Square looking for interviewees, I purposefully look for interesting people. People with a spark in their eye, people laughing or talking animatedly, people who look deep in thought, people wearing hats – they are ALWAYS good to talk to – and people with interesting hair. The latter drew me to this man. I admit it; I did not recognize one of our greatest minds as he strolled through Times Square. I, the girl who just got a telescope and has been reading only deep sci-fi for years and lives for the day our society turns toward the cosmos for its answers instead of our pockets and TVs – I failed to recognize the incomparable Neil DeGrasse Tyson. That’s why I talked to him about politics instead of the other grillion questions I would have asked, had I only known. That might make this interview better in terms of its spontaneous spirit, but it certainly doesn’t make me FEEL any better. I blew my chance to know the secrets of the universe, people! Alas, I can only hope you enjoy this interview while I nurse my broken heart. Sigh.
