"Knowing how to think empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think." - Neil deGrasse Tyson

the dog? that made me laugh so hard man. he is not only a good astro physisist but also a good comedian.

Him talking about his meeting with Carl Sagan made me a bit emotional. Don't know why, but it must have been a grand experience. Something that will eventually enter the history books.

360p! Oh man 2009 was rough on the tube. Ahhhh memories.

He is so mesmerizing to watch speak. The same way Sagan and Feynman were.

Lol at the thumbnail. "Actually it's this big!"

Great interview! this makes me happy to be from his hometown: THE BRONX! Science is fun!

Dr. Tyson is my idol. ... j/k. He IS the MAN!

Great interview!

>8 people say, "Wait! isn't that the meme guy?" What to think. >Well to be fair he is, but he is much more. How to think.

I know, I love the guy. It is a sad day when in class we see a video of him and like 8 people say, "Wait! isn't that the meme guy?" Well to be fair he is, but he is much more.

Neil is so awesome!

this guy is awesome.

Pluto had it coming... damn im still laughing HAHAx100000

Love Tyson. Interviewer was very nice, but i've heard the same questions every time. Don't mind hearing the answers twice though.

I envy what Neil Degrasse Tyson has with a ferocity and a sorrow. You can tell that there are people who just learn just enough to muddle by. And there are those who have an earnest passion and love for a thing. People don't get it. "Just drawing a paycheck" is the definition of mediocrity. If you're in that camp, you're just an imitator of the folk who actually have a deep, almost moral, commitment to their work. It's the one thing that separates the genius from everybody else.

I would love a autographed book from Dr. Tyson

Don't ever let the trolls get you down. It has no bearing on your ability to do the work. Do, however, concentrate on your writing abilities, since it will impact your work in astronomy as much as your mathematical skills. Grant writing, research findings, etc., all depend upon clear communication. I see no reason why you can't be a fine scientist; the difference between a good one and a great one, however, is how they connect with others and communicate their findings. All good fortune to you.

@reegwalk YES YES YES YES! Completely agreed!!! I've been campaigning this for years.

wow

Isn't he the guy who started the , "we have a bad ass here" Meme?

DA SOUTH BRONX! DA SOUTH SOUTH BRONX!! haha Sagan would be proud :')

I was paying you a compliment. The point I was attempting to make was it's worth questioning _why_ someone is known .. beyond "famous for being famous" (a la Paris Hilton)...

Neil If your mission, Was to make science cool, And interesting, Partaining to astrology. For me, I say mission acomplished!

long and hard

Who the hell dislikes this?????

i wanna be an uhstranumer too!!

DAFUQ? The four dislikes must be from the Plutonians.

@slipshodcoqbgg Engines running on magnets only? How the fuck do they work?

I personally think that is kind of a dangerous way to think. You are implying that how you think is better than how others think, now I'm not saying anything bad about you, just food for thought.

O.K. I like the quote, but how is it at all pertinent besides that Neil said it?

@casplash4 A good first step would be to learn to spell it properly. "Astronomer".

ASTRONOMY, not ASTROLOGY.

hmm, hes going to be done with his kids someday? hehe i love him, i just had to mention it.. first innaccuracy i have heard from him :)
