Neil deGrasse Tyson: A man after FIRST's own heart.
 

I'm not sure if he's associated with FIRST in the past or not, but I would love to see this man at a FIRST event and it would be even more of a treat to hear him speak.

Here's a video of him discussing the importance of STEM education.
(Take the title with a grain of salt, it doesn't have much to do with the content.)

"You should be educated. And in your education you should value science, technology, engineering, and math. If you do so, you get to innovate and invent new industries [and] new economies. If you invent new economies, everybody has jobs tomorrow."

I asked him about FIRST on a "ask me anything" thread he did on Reddit, but he never responded too me.

That tie! I want that tie!

But absolutely, he's someone I'd love to see at an FRC event.
