I used to look up to him, and met him at an astronomy symposium once. (About one of my actual heroes, Galileo!)

I dunno, he’s not horrible, he was just like, so obviously pissed that people recognized him and wanted autographs and a picture lol.

I kinda understand, and he had the patience to put up with it. He wasn’t outright mean to me or anything, but geeze man, you don’t gotta so obviously display contempt for the kids who will be carrying the torch because you inspired them.

Anyway, I forgive him. Was just a little disappointed.

I feel his frustration at sharing the world with a lot of stupid people, but he’s another one of those science communicators like Tyson, who get to a point where they get smarmy and smug and holier-than-thou.

Like damn, maybe we could be on a similar level if we could get paid to learn things too, sirs.
