[NIXON, Grant]

You are both correct. His formal education is a Bachelor of Science
degree in physics in 1946 from Georgia Southwestern State University.

I don't think that is the answer:  Jimmy Carter was a physicist....

And so is Andrea Merkel, and while I consider her an order of magnitude 
brighter than either Presidential Candidate (and 10 orders of magnitude 
brighter than either VP), I don't know if you can call the current state
of 
Germany Nirvana - except maybe during Oktoberfest....

Space exploration was the main impetus that got myself and many other 
scientists interested in science [I actually thought becoming a health 
physicist with nuclear navy background would qualifiy me to do work on 
spacecraft]. Even if the space exploration challenge is pie in the sky,
it 
still motivates me to this day to do better science. Perhaps
over-extended 
space exploration will motivate a generation of scientists and the US
will 
one day have a scientist president (vs. lawyer) and we will all achive 
nirvanna and have Plato's philosopher-king as our leader.

Cheers!
