This week, Point of Inquiry is thrilled to welcome back one of our most popular guests: Neil deGrasse Tyson, the famed astrophysicist and Frederick P. Rose Director of the\xa0Hayden Planetarium in New York City.

\n

Last time we had him on, Dr. Tyson engaged in a wide ranging discussion about science communication and the place of science in America.

\n

This time, we focus in on his new book\u2014Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier\u2014and his call for revitalizing NASA and letting it play a central role in reconnecting America and science.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is America's most pre-eminent science communicator. In addition to his work at the Hayden Planetarium and his books and television appearances, he is also the host of Star Talk Radio.
