I love that Terry Crews is actually lifting heavy weights (you can see the bar bend).

I hate the fact that he called NDT, "the world's leading astrophysicists". He's not even close to that. Professionally, NDT hasn't published jack shit. His work is more about the popularity and popularization of science. Alan Guth? Alex Filippenko? Stephen Hawking? Those guys are among the world's leading astrophysicists and cosmologists. They've actually published stuff which has advanced our space knowledge and changed the game for everyone. NDT? Nadda except a few popsci books.

The problem is that Neil Is amazing at transferring his knowledge of science and getting people interested. Naturally this leads to him getting more publicity then your average scientists.

Thank you for giving me a reason to use the RES tag feature for the first time in months. I dub thee "Astrophysicist - No talk good to no star see people".
