Comments on: IYA 2009 Trailer http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2008/04/25/iya-2009-trailer/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

He had a tendency to speak his mind. While that's normally a good thing, it can make powerful enemies.

I have a small part in that project (and several commercially available cheap telescopes in my office we are testing to see what other people have designed). I will post more on this project as it progresses. A lot of work still needs to be done!
