Neil Degrasse Tyson: “You can’t laugh and be afraid at the same time.” When info is new/scary/confusing… add humor.

“MARSTOO’s Chief R&D officer,” Mr. Rex Manning from Dallas, stopped by to judge the Mars lander prototypes created by @stahlt21’s Flight & Space classes. Thanks for inviting me to see their hard work pay off! (And it was an excuse to break out the hat and buckle.) #d73inspires
