These will be the questions I’ll answer in short videos. As such, they should be fairly wide-ranging, not silly questions, and not about specific stories that a viewer may not have seen.
See Below for Sample Questions and the list of Answered Questions.
All fields in the form are required. I will use your first name (only!) and your general location (like “Michigan”, “Ontario, Canada”, or “Belize”) in the video, such as “Bill in Colorado asks….”
You are welcome to ask more than one question.
Some of the Questions So Far
Not at all a complete list, but some samples to provide flavor; these will definitely all be answered.
- Doug in California: What happened on your best day as an EMT?
- Steven in Israel: Can you continue with your stories of your EMS experiences?
- Roxanne in Virginia: Did you ever manage to get over your migraines?
- Adam from Canada: I understand you’re remarkably tall; do you have or need to worry about Marfan syndrome or similar? And/or, how has being that tall been a *negative* in your life?
- Clara in the U.K.: I believe no success, especially prolonged success, comes without difficulties along the way. What difficulties have you overcome to be where you are? I view you as an unquestionable success. [Wow! -rc]
- Linda in North Carolina: Can you tell many people on the Odyssey were aware of This is True when they came aboard and how many have subscribed since? How is Kit conducting her business now that she is aboard a ship? Do you keep track and/or pay any attention to how many clicks your imbedded links get in your various publications?
- Dennis in Arkansas: How did you get into using the Dvorak keyboard and when, and also using the split keyboards for your work?
- Linda in North Carolina: Can you tell many people on the Odyssey were aware of This is True when they came aboard and how many have subscribed since?
- Chuck in Texas: I’m sure you have read Andy Weir’s novel The Martian, or seen the movie. Combined with your experience with NASA and friends, what is your opinion on how long it will be before we have a full-blown Mars mission? Or if we will ever have one?
One thing to notice: short questions rock! But if you need to provide context so I understand what you’re asking, by all means you should add it.
- AMA 001: What to expect from the videos. Who can ask questions? Will you answer all questions?
- AMA002: Whose idea was it to move to a cruise ship? (Yours or your wife.) You are now a citizen of the world. Do you still feel like a Coloradan?
- AMA003: Who was your favorite/most interesting Honorary Unsubscribe? Will A.I. be able to replicate your newsletter soon?
- AMA004: Could you post transcripts, even if machine-generated? Do you ever miss the work you did at JPL and wish you could have found a way to do both? You introduced me to Mensa. Will you be doing more Mensa talks?
