Scott Kelly and Stephen Colbert

I am impressed that Stephen Colbert is bringing astronauts and scientists onto his Late Show program.  Most of the other talk shows seem interested in celebrities only and ignore all the other happenings in the world - and off world.  His long-distant interview with astronaut Scott Kelly, who was aboard the International Space Station, was entertaining yet also instructive.  In addition to discussion frequent flier miles, the talk covered potential bone loss due to the lack of gravity.  No, the science was not very deep, but at last NASA had a place on late night television.  Bravo to Colbert!
