Sally is so enlightening! He had clarified half of my all time outer solar system questions! One of my favorite episodes ever! Thanks Fraser, don't ever stop doing videos, not everyone can afford a astronomy degree!

My nursing school forces its faculty to attend a Christian prayer prior to staff meetings. I've now graduated, and I plan on sending a letter to the school expressing my concern.

Discrimination is a huge problem, and we can learn a great deal from the women fighting sexual discrimination in academia.

I couldn't get home in time to watch live and ask the question of what happened to the other videos, I sure miss them, did I miss something or is Fraser just to damn busy to make any?

I got a question it's probably easier to answer but we don't know the answer how do we take out on pictures of our own galaxy if we don't send spaceships out of our galaxy

[kturob]

when do you think it will be when we finally are able to send a spaceship or satellite out of our galaxy

[kturob]
