He'd already been kicked out of the IAU in 541: TED Talk. How did he regain admission?
- There's a starman waiting in the sky, he'd like to come and meet us but he thinks he'd blow our minds. There's a starman waiting in the sky. He's told us not to blow it 'cause he knows it's all worthwhile... 162.158.158.197 12:27, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
