        @neiltyson At least the airlines don't charge extra for the oxygen (yet).

        .@neiltyson Sometime soon, airlines will charge extra for use of O2 masks during flight. Currently, cabin pressurization is complimentary.

        @neiltyson From a PR perspective, that's an appreciated verbiage. Kind of like space suits are "pressurized for your comfort"
