I saw him interviewed on Rachel Maddow last night and he seemed really passionate about astronomy, anxious to share his perspective ("Pluto is no longer the smallest planet in the solar system; it's king of the icy bodies!"), and good-natured about the entire thing. In short, I got a sense that despite his demoting Pluto, he really is One of Us and I found him very smart and funny. I'd love to see tonight's Nova, but I've got a Foolscap PR committee meeting that conflicts, which makes me sad.
