MacFarlane might not have initially seemed like a good fit for such a documentary given that his prior works include: Family Guy, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show. The showВ began airing inВ the spring of 2014 and was co-produced by Cosmos Studios along withВ MacFarlaneвЂ™s Fuzzy Door ProductionsВ as well asВ the National Geographic Channel. With the jihad of disinterest that has seen many scientific endeavors hampered in recent years it is past time that the вЂњdocumentaryвЂќ was re-envisioned, re-forged using modern themes and language (likely helped by one of the seriesвЂ™ producers вЂ“В Seth MacFarlane). One of his latest efforts, the reboot of Carl SaganвЂ™s Cosmos series, Cosmos A Spacetime OdysseyВ is out on DVD and Blu-Ray вЂ“ for anyone interested in space, science or who is just curious about how things work? It is a must have.

Few have made science and astronomy as accessible to the general public as Tyson has. I was assisting SpaceFlight Nowon their live show and Tyson was at the station next toВ ours at the NASA press site at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It was the final re-servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. I briefly met Neil deGrasse Tyson during the lead up to the launch of space shuttle Atlantis on mission STS-125 in May of 2009.
