I just spent 20 minutes writing up a question that was important to me (would you become a public supporter of Copenhagen Suborbitals, working towards sending a man into space) only to see it being lost in a sea of questions.
I gave you a hopeful upvote. I'm generally not a fan of asking AMA subjects for money, but it sounds like a cool program and something that Dr. Tyson could be interested in.
We actually just talked about trying to get some international coverage on a board meeting the other day, so this AMA seemed a pretty good opportunity. Our goal for this year is to get more international members, it's currenlty mostly Danes.
Normally I'd agree with you on the money subject, but this just seemed too good of an opportunity to not act upon. Besides all the money will be spent building rockets :-)
You should try to contact him directly. Just posting a comment on a Reddit AMA, especially one as popular as this, probably won't make anything happen.
I live in a different timezone, so luckily by the time I arrive the conversation has been curated somewhat. Reddit does a great job of taking 10000 comments and giving me 100 to read!
I guess if you're mainly scanning, read it tomorrow and you'll probably enjoy doing so more.

50 minutes old and 4300 comments... best of luck to anyone hoping to ask him a question.

Sounds like a really cool project! Have another upvote in hopes it gets his attention.

And thanks a lot for the upvote.

Sad that there are so few comments out of that many that are actually worth reading.

I thought some of them were quite funny.
And btw its not Hacker News :)
That's about how the last one went too. I think it hit nearly 10k comments.
EDIT: Yes it did hit 10k, Here's the previous IAMAs with him
