Heyo hows it going?
I am great how are you, Ive been studying Neil Degrasse Tyson lately, He was born in New York City, He is also became an astronomy at the age of nine after a visit to the Hayden Planetarium.
IM good!, i actually heard he holds no degrees in astronomy :(
Hahah well that is to be debated I suppose. Neil is one of the most popular scientific minds of today, have you seen his TV programs? 
Yes i really like him for promoting science. I just want those guys to have some more backround. Bill Nye is the same, he holds no scientific degrees
I thin Bill has more influenza, his TV show has aired over 100 half-hour episodes spanning five entire seasons after all. 
Oh yea i remember him frowing up and watching him in school. I love the guy but there are some other physicists and other guys that are much more educated. No doubt bill adn neil are entertaining. how old is Neil?
Neil was born on October 5, 1958 so that makes him 59 years old. Hes one of the youngest American astrophysicist, authors, and science communicators out there. 
Awesome! Im glad he will be around for awhile. Does he have any books out?
Im not too sure, but he was a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University and he may have written some scientific books while studying there. .
Yea i have never heard him promote anything but science which i find humble :)
