        @neiltyson Please ignore our friends who choose to drag theism / atheism into your wonderful message. I felt the sincerity. Best wishes.

        @neiltyson Why not wish Neil A. Armstrong lightspeed? What's god got to do with anything? Be scientific about all aspects of life.

        @neiltyson So how many times since this tweet have you had to explain the etymology of 'goodbye' to the indignant masses?

        @neiltyson Maybe "Neil A. Armstrong 1930-1969-2012" is much more appropiate for this hero.

        @neiltyson is it a coincidence that people who dared to dream and look at the skies share the name 'Neil'? Neil Armstrong and now you..
