Michelle Thaller on Science
April 29th, 2009
I met and had the opportunity to spend a lot of time talking about the universe with the fabulous Michelle Thaller at CWA. Michelle is a astronomer, and as far as I know is still the head of education and outreach at the Spitzer Space Telescope (she was considering a new job with NASA last I heard). She initially derived her inspiration for space and communicating its wonders from Carl Sagan and George Lucas’ Star Wars.
Here is a brief interview about what keeps her inspired:

Hello!
I can t understand. The universe will be frozen. It is expanding as a balloom, and later will be a space full of blocks or cubes of ice.

What is your opinion?

Hi, I’m a 77 year old who’s interested in our solar system and the universe.
I love the programs on the History Channel I have I problem, the TV does not answer me nor does my cat & my wife couldn’t care less.
Where can I go to converse with some one who will answer my “stupid” questions ? Like how do you prove there ever was a BIG BANG, What caused it & if nothing was there what exploded?
I can go on & on but that’s not going to help me now.
Thanks
