In a statement, Dr. Tyson said of the show,

I’ve put together an engaging multi-media presentation that brings the expanses of modern science directly to audience members. Fans love the Q&A sessions that rival the event itself. These are family-friendly events. I’ll frequently take questions from children since I’m fascinated with young ones who are interested in science.

In the past, he's been asked questions spanning from everything from space elevators to parenting tips.
