I LOVE this man. I've been in contact with his son for a while now (met through the Reddit AMA's his dad was doing from orbit) and were in talks about a biography on him, but I'm not sure what's happening with those now. Either way, this man is a true teacher; he spent SO much effort and energy getting people involved in the space program, not only to educate but also to help raise a future generation of explorers. Like Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson, he is not just concerned with the science, but also with making sure others understand and appreciate its importance. Truly a visionary and if I was Canadian, I'd be super proud to have him hail from my land. That said, as an Earthling, I'm still proud...he is a fresh breeze for NASA and its under-appreciated funding/support from the U.S. government.

First guy to use social media to show everyone the great work he's doing.
