        @neiltyson Also the only event where every thing went as planned and as well as could be hoped for and yet people were still speechless.

        @neiltyson Millions of people also remember fondly where they were when the first African American POTUS was elected. Also a positive IMO.

        @neiltyson unfortunately I wasn't alive at the time & too young to remember #Apollo17. Hope to see something like this again in my lifetime

        @neiltyson Gee, I also recall President Obama's election. Kinda "positive" too. Recall exactly where I was. Not everyone is a geek.

        @neiltyson Completely disagree. How about "America elects first black president"? Politics aside, it's a pretty positive step for society.

        @blindpossum30 i agree Obama has not had the best human rights record but calling him a dictator is a bit of a stretch
