Piers Sellers is a famous climate scientist who is also an astronaut. He was at a GEWEX conference in Melbourne where I gave a talk this morning. He was giving the keynote speech to the plenary openning session. We got to chat at the reception tonight. His vigorous handshake and beaming smile left me a bit wondering if he had me consfused with that other Thomas "S" Pagano that works for NASA. But straight up fascinating guy.
I asked him about his space walks, I had heard that it's a life changing event. His response "mnn, not really.... Now having a kid?...Getting fired from a job? Those are life changing events.".
