    The first book on the cosmos I ever read was written by Sir Patrick Moore. May he rest in peace, somewhere in the universe (1923-2012)

        @neiltyson why not everywhere in this universe, and somewhere in the next?

        @neiltyson Is it not more scientifically accurate to say 'rest in pieces'? :-)

        @neiltyson Hard sciences only covers some factual bits of religion, psychology covers the human faults that cause the deeper failings.

        @neiltyson As much as you decry religious viewpoints, even a simple statement such as RIP seems a bit out of place for a man of science.
