Mr. Nye, Dr. Stofan, and Dr. Pappalardo Thank you all so much! I'm Matt Heer, a high school science teacher of 11 years and you've all done so much for me in my career. I truly appreciate and am grateful for all you have done in your career Mr. Nye; Exciting young people about science and your current battle fighting publicly for scientific truth. (I'd love to get a picture with you if you are ever in Wisconsin for my classroom!)

Dr. Stofan and Dr. Pappalardo, I have been involved in the (NASA HUNCH)[www.nasahunch.com) program for the past 3 years and that program has re-vitalized my love of science and research and getting students an exciting and meaningful experience. Thank you for your life's work of bettering human understanding at and fighting for tax dollars well spent. Keep it up! You all are American hero's too!

My question for you all is this: If you could address high school students (teachers or parents too for that matter!) of America right now, what words of wisdom / advice / or challenges do you have for them? Thank you all again for your time and keep on rocking!

PS Would any of you be interested in skyping with my school & community some time in the future?

DUDE! I'm a high school teacher who will be flying in microgravity in mid-April with some of my students as part of the HUNCH program.

Can my students and I skype / zoom with you some time after 3pm CST after these holidays? I've got a couple of kids who might love to chat with you. PM me if you're interested!

Thank you Robert! I appreciate your time and perspective.

Excellente!

I'm a physics teacher who talked to two retired astronauts last year in Houston. Brewster Shaw told me that they are looking for people who have had life experience and a broad knowledge base. They want people who have tried a lot of things and have a lot of interests and hobbies. The astronauts will be doing a lot of experiments and missions that they may or may not be interested in.
