  • Mickey and Minnie Mouse are SAD because ASTRONOMERS killed PLUTO :O(

  • The stained glass actually brought tears to my eyes. How much more honourable a memorial can a person get than this?

  • The stained glass window at 4:31 really struck me. In this day when so many religions are fostering a hatred of science, how many churches have a stained glass window celebrating a scientist... with a rocket on it? It speaks strongly to me of our loss.

  • This is just awesome. AND Pluto will always be a planet in my heart.

  • telescope reminds me of steampunk lol ...

  • Awesome little video. Loved the telescopes!

  • R.I.P.

    A great man:)

  • Love Scientists :)
