New York VII: "The whole universe was in a hot dense state..."


 

We visited the Museum of Natural History today, and I have a bone to pick* with their retail people. Why in the world have you neglected to stock any of Chris Hadfield's books?  My god, the man has been a New York Times bestselling author not once but twice, his Space Oddity video has been viewed 37.7 million times, he has 2.28 million Twitter™ followers - 2.5 million people have watched the man brush his teeth on YouTube™, for heaven's sake! Does that not sound like someone whose books might be a popular sales item? Step up, people!

P.S.  Just for the record, I have nothing against Mike Massimino - nice guy, also a New York Times bestselling author, been on The Big Bang Theory six times...hey!  Why hasn't Chris Hadfield been on The Big Bang Theory??**  My god, the man has been a New York Times bestselling author not once but twice...

* Given their display of fossils, this seems apt.

**  But seriously, why hasn't he?
