"I've put together an engaging multi-media presentation that brings the expanses of modern science directly to audience members. Fans love the Q&A sessions that rival the event itself," says Dr. Tyson. In the past, he's been asked a myriad of questions about everything from space elevators to parenting advice. Tyson says, "These are family-friendly events. I'll frequently take questions from children since I'm fascinated with young ones who are interested in science."

The New York City native is host of StarTalk Radio and TV show along with FOX's Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey; he is a New York Times bestselling author of 10 books and is also a frequent guest on The Daily Show. President Bush appointed Tyson in 2001 and 2004 to serve on commissions studying the future of the U.S. aerospace industry and the implementation of the U.S. space exploration policy, respectively. Tyson is also the recipient of 18 honorary doctorates and the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal, the highest award given by NASA to non-government citizens.
