I'm a student there. I'm so proud of him.
Steve Hartman is one of the best interviewers on CBS.
This man is a treasure. I’m sure he’s still talented. He could be doing something to inspire the next generation. Why not make better use of him? 😔
Great story !
To The Moon and Back.....Maury is a Star to those Kids!! Cheers Everyone
An amazing story; I can certainly relate. My work was in electrochemistry, helping develop the emergency power supply for the command module, exciting, exhausting and daunting timelines. I re-launched my science career to teaching HS chemistry and proud to say launched many kids into science careers of their own. Great Joy!
How many custodians out there are completely ignored? No one gives them the time of day. Sunday Morning comes calling and everyone is lovey dovey. Really?
Grandpa missing his Grandchildrens or the feelings of not having them ,so even if its moping floor he don't want to miss the opportunity to enjoy these basic human moments
I am so touched by this story♥♥♥Life can take us down completely unexpected paths, but unexpected doesn't necessarily mean "less" .Thank u for sharing his story :)
*crying* Omg! How horrible! What a horrible horrible diagnosis! Poor poor guy! Wow! Thank you! Thank you so so soooo much for your work at NASA which helped us to know more and to understand more about the universe that we all call home.
Respect
Amen.

Ahhhhhhhh America. You seduce us with your fairytale White Privilege pick yourself up by your own boot straps stories. If you're brown, black, or red skinned, it's a different story. Much different. Written by "The Usual Suspect...
I wish society would get rid of labels. There is no such thing as a "blue collar" or "lower" job title, there are millions of people everyday who work hard and contribute to our society in different, important ways. No job is better than another and there is honor in hard, honest day's work. In a world that has so called white collar jobs or positions of power who are taking advantage of their positions doing unscrupulous things. Or Congress, who are incapable of representing us by working effectively together, I will take this caliber of a great man, no matter what his job is, ANY day! Thank goodness for Maury, my dearly departed dad and other great men who act honorably every day.
