One of my heroes. Read his works and watched his videos. A great mind and character.

Really enjoyed the documentary tonight.

I had previously watched "The Challenger" and thought it an incredibly flat interpretation when compared to reading Feynman's own account - and that was pretty much confirmed in the doc.

When someone loves life and loves to discover things you can't help but be infected - RF has managed that (partly by the accident of the world wide web) on a massive scale!!

My hero.
The books of his lectures got me through my degree in the late 60s.
