NOVA ScienceNOW | Captain Neil deGrasse Tyson

[TheYella20]

he deff wears that shirt every night

[ZarlanTheGreen]

@DanteDouglas True, though their meanings overlap a lot, but he's still very much a geek.

[ZarlanTheGreen]

@DanteDouglas Yes he certainly is a nerd

...but not a geek?

What the heck are you talking about?

He most certainly is!

The words synonyms.

Dr. Tyson makes science seemingly fun and therefore approchable, even by a non scientific person such as I. Thanks for posting this.

[drowzy721]

why does british TV not have super science tuesdays!!! or any days for that matter!

[fr3d420]

ROFL. NDT PWNZ!

[withoutasong]

He would have made that new Star Trek awesome, he should have been Kirk.

[helios5868]

He should have been Archer, maybe then he wouldn't have sucked.

[justnaesman]

He is like a big kid - what a great job he has and does.

[canadassweetie]

brilliant commercial! :P

[NovaDeb]

I really like it and I love the show!

[devvlish]

my new favorite thing!

[JezeroCraterDweller]

This is amazing.

[texpeare]

You rock Neil! Loved you on Colbert!

[claudiaquat]

Why did they beam down his captain's chair?

[moebigsley1976]

Because he'll be watching T.V.

Who watches T.V. standing up?

[Cyraside]

I love Nova!

[dpmduran]

Makes me want to watch, even more now!

[dominictemple]

Corny ad, but I liked it.

[JixMa]

DeGrasse Tyson is a real science geek. I can't see him wearing the yellow shirt of a starfleet captain, which is a man of action and derring do. Blue shirt of a science officer, ehn, maybe.

[grapesofwraith1066]

as long as he's not in a red shirt =)

Live long and prosper Mr. Tyson!

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

@JixMa dont call him a geek you moron he was wretler in school

[JixMa]

@FIGHTFANNERD3 "dont call him a geek you moron he was wretler in school"

.

Fuck you, you deGrasse-Tyson asskisser! Oh, and you misspelled "wrestler" and left out the word "a" before it, you fucking dumbass! Too impatient to get your lame, fucking comment posted? Idiot.

[ZarlanTheGreen]

@FIGHTFANNERD3 Are you implying that Neil deGrasse Tyson isn't a geek?

I highly disprove of you insulting him like that.

[ZarlanTheGreen]

@JixMa So you're saying that geek = not capable of action and derring do?

Nonsense.

[JixMa]

@ZarlanGreen "So you're saying that geek=not capable of action & derring do? Nonsense."

Well "not capable of" remains to be seen, but in general, yes, I guess I'm saying *that*. Afterall, if one does do "derring-do" that would define him as a hero, a man of action--not a geek. Geeks are thinkers, bookworms, brainiacs, those that stay in the lab or study microbes under a rock somewhere. Geeks are not those that *act*, that *do*. That's what the jocks are for. That's why we have "Red Shirts". LOL!
