   With enough lead time I would thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to meet and spend an evening with some of the people we have mentioned here.
   For me, it would mean extended travel.
   Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the event which is happening in June.

   Some people would travel to meet a rock star or an athlete or some other kind of entertainer.
   That was never for me.
   At one time I thought those who were in the science world, (my world was physics/chem)
   were the last great oasis of things good. Silly me. I, of course, have found that often not to be true.
   But I now have even more admiration for those who maintained their integrity and honesty.

   Sadly, it seems, that they are almost entirely of an older generation. That fact may not be entirely true, but it is what I have encountered. Also, it may be easier to live an open an honest life when
   one does not have to do what is necessary to meet the needs of a family. Also, I was idealistic and easily swayed when I was young.

   Regardless, wishing you Steve/Tony a pleasant and rewarding evening.

   Enjoy!

   You deserve a break after shaking establishment “science” to its rotten roots in the budgets of federal research agencies (NASA, DOE, EPA, NSF, etc.) the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) reviews annually for Congress.

     After dinner, you might ponder if the integrity of government science and constitutional limits on government were sacrificed for “The Long Peace of 1945-2015?”

   Please! Please! Please! Ask him where the missing heat is. We could use some in Michigan. 45 degrees on June 1 is not pleasant.

   I’ve had the honor of speaking with both of these brilliant and wonderful gentleman. Why – how? Simply put – because they’re just plain nice enough to pick up the phone and yak. Unbelievable how they are shunned by the national media – the left (all one in the same).

     My guess would be Chris Landsea, but I am by no means certain.

       Yes – it’s Chris Landsea . . Your clue was that he was the one tweeting.

       He’s Mr. Hurricane, at NASA.

       Also has a band.
