Astrophysicist, visionary, and best-selling author Neil deGrasse Tyson will deliver the keynote address at the opening session of NBAA-BACE on October 22 in Las Vegas. Tyson's speech is part of his cross-country tour, which includes numerous sold-out engagements. He is a frequent source for news outlets on astronomical phenomena and has a significant following on social media.
"Neil deGrasse Tyson is someone who needs no introduction," said NBAA president and CEO Ed Bolen. "He is not only one of the most famous and recognizable scientists in the world today but a visionary who fires imaginations with his ability to excite people about what is possible in the world of tomorrow. We are thrilled to have him join us as we gather to shape the industry’s future at NBAA-BACE."
Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium in New York, gained national prominence in the mid-1990s through contributions to numerous scientific publications. He became widely known as host of the PBS Nova mini-series “Origins,” based on his book “Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution,” co-authored by Donald Goldsmith. His latest book, “Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilization,” connects human progress with scientific exploration and discovery.
