re: Hawking supports space colonization
Did you and your wife get to meet Hawking at all? What a nice honor
just to be so close.
I saw him speak circa 2000. At the end they had some Harvard - I repeat
Harvard - University students ask him some questions. They consisted of
"Should I become an astronomer?", "Is there a God?", and "What is the
black stuff between the stars?" I am not making this up.
And if Einstein had been speaking, they probably would have asked him
why his hair is so white and why doesn't he brush it?
