Neil deGrasse Tyson

Awhile back a video circulated of Neil deGrasse Tyson explaining how we as a nation stopped caring about space travel once the Cold War ended.

In this chapter, deGrasse Tyson explains to us how space travel unites the world as a single people, detailing the myriad of international aid organizations that were founded shortly after the first moon landing in 1969. Now if all that took place after a moon landing, think what we could accomplish as a species if we ever land on Mars.

The kids are our future!

Music to my ears.

But Neil definitely wishes it was.

The man makes an incredibly compelling argument for the randomness of the universe. That said, just because there's no purpose doesn't make the universe any less cool.

To space! Awaaaaaaay!

If Neil deGrasse Tyson says that teddy bears can walk and talk and make crude jokes, then it must be true!
