Neil DeGrasse Tyson is the man.  He does something that not many other scientists are able to do. He makes science fun and interesting for everyone.

He's like a wacky Carl Sagan. Brilliant but also hilarious.

A young lad's BEST reference: his mom. Who could doubt her perspective?

Neil deGrasse Tyson is the coolest man in the world and still, in my estimation, the world's sexiest astrophysicist.
