I want to thank you for inspiring me to go back to school; it was AWA/BPS that reminded me that if you do something you enjoy, you will never have to work a day in your life.

As for questions: 1. I've heard of using spectroscopy to determine elements in clouds of stuff out in space; would it be possible to see atmospheres on planets, and if so could one determine if there were strange chemical processes going on? 2. How much do you like your day job? As in, do you find astronomy and science communication rewarding? 3. You talk a lot about sci-fi flicks from yesteryear, do you have any favorite sci-fi books or short stories?

Thanks again.
