Mr. Beat! Amazing job with the series! I've loved watching over the last few months. Thank you and congrats on getting it all done.

Question(s): what's your opinion on how much of a role Presidents really have when it comes to shaping the direction of the country? Is there too much gridlock for them to be effective? Is there still a bully pulpit or has it been drowned out in today's current environment where anyone can get their message out?

Adam, I've loved you guys for 20 years. You have been an integral part of my musical experience and therefore my life. Thank you.

Question: will you ever release a studio version of the SONG "August and Everything After?" I've heard it live and it's amazing.

Also, thank you for covering Robin Hitchcock's "She Doesn't Exist Anymore" and the Cure's "Six Different Ways" in concert. Both are equally beautiful in different ways. Studio versions of those would be amazing too!

If you're really keen to gain experience in the developing world, you could also look I to teaching English to kids or adults. I found some places via TEFL and other such sites that were in the MENA and SE AsIa regions. I wound up teaching in Sudan and, once there, was able to network with some of the NGOs like MSF and eventually got hired by one. It may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's an option.

Hi Amy! Huge fan. I thought I knew it all about Mercury, Gemini and Apollo, but then I found your channel and learn something new all the time. I love it!

You've said a bit in the past, but care to share more thoughts on how we perhaps over romanticize the days of Apollo? Does it still stand out as a huge achievement to you or do you think it's overshadowing other scientific progress/discoveries?
