Neil deGrasse Tyson Opens A Rocket In His Office

[Ievolovel]

Those some nice ass frames Mr. Tyson.

[TheEvilCouncill]

I submit to you sir!

[ShiroKage009]

He likes to use the phrase: "I submit to you" doesn't he? :D

[RedPhoenix230]

We have a badass over here! :)

[TimAyro]

I like how he opened it, told me what it was, and explained it. I love him

[nermid]

I was sent here with only the information that this was a video of Neil deGrasse Tyson opening a box. Honestly, I was willing to be happy with this video at 0:45. The next 3 minutes were just gravy.

[Niemtol2]

@nermid Best gravy I've ever had.

[8bobthebuilder]

3:35 to 3:52 is the best.

[NeilDeGrasseTyson13]

LEGEND

[weefeatures]

She definitely wants to play with his rocket

[ssohood2011]

Imma Black Nerd

He's One The Only People I Could Look Up To & Truly Be Happy =)

[GKris1989]

@ssohood2011 Seriously and white people used to think blacks weren't smart enough to fly airplanes! Way to prove them wrong Neil!

[ssohood2011]

@GKris1989 Ha, perhaps that was an insult but I'll take it as a complement.

[GKris1989]

@ssohood2011 It wasn't an insult, I was just saying white people used to think blacks had no intellectual skills what so ever! Neil Tyson proves them wrong in so many ways though, were all human and have a mind that can be developed into something amazing if you use it right.

[ssohood2011]

@GKris1989 Agreed =)

[3732334]

this dude was a wrestler lol

[Zebonka]

I know *exactly* what he's feeling, and I want one.

[mattymmmm]

96% of it's launch wright is liquid fuel, and considering it weighs 3000 tons...

[mattymmmm]

The 5 F1's at the bottom burn fuel at 15 tons per second!

I want one!

[TanoBrati]

He's such a nerd. Love it.

[BetterOffDamned]

I love this video!

[ticrisse]

nice to see even brilliant people geek out!

[RyanEnty]

am i the only one here cause of that meme he made

[GowanBray]

What you see here is the pleasure that scientific knowledge can bring. The reason he is so excited is that he knows and deeply understands the truly stupendous achievement of the Saturn 5 and Apollo programmes. When you really grasp a part of science, and realise that it is actually real, and not some fairy tale, it can be hard to stop smiling. Kids, science is not just learning facts, it's actually a philosophy and a framework for interacting with the universe around you. And it works.

[Nasubi77]

@GowanBray Nerdgasms everywhere! (Myself included).

[Giby86]

How can he be that badass even doing something like opening a gift?

[pengy44]

He's so excited about that rocket... I would too

[ALSPEHEIR]

-And you have a model in your office.

- 8-)

[MsPinecone123]

Oh to be at his dinner table every night...lucky his children are.

[AegisNova]

@MsPinecone123 Yeah -- in most families, it would probably be, "Daaad! Not more science!" but he's so enthusiastic about it! :D

[TwiztedSound]

I can see curiosity and passion in his eyes, wonderful.

[tirevan]

Man, that dude has some pipes. I wouldn't wanna get into a debate with him - he's a genius AND he could probably snap me like a twig!

[unifiedflyingoutrage]

AAAH I CAN'T STOP SMILING. 

[ptroinks]

I would just love to have a Saturn V replica! Not that big, though, but a well made, accurate replica! If anyone knows where to get one, please let me know!

[Tstr0ng420]

Watch out, we got a badass over here

[kessler003]

@ 3:38 The Gay BadAss meme? hehehe

[uriituw]

Is there actually a live audience, or is he just pretending there is?

[lewisner]

On the subject of "Is Tyson a scientist" he and Richard Dawkins do an informal debate and at one point Dawkins says "I'm a little out of my depth here!". THAT'S how how you know he is a scientist.

[resoprint]

I can't believe someone can be this smart, cool and funny at the same time.

[Blurtex33]

Same size as his dick

[mike7743]

@Blurtex33 which you'd probably are dying to take it in the rear.

[Elsoddo]

It's not a DEAD body, it's an ALIVE body!

[FreakCitySF]

He just made me an instant fan of the Saturn 5.

[drunkill]

Say hello to my little friend :D

[hunta99]

He's a giant kid with mass intelligence and that's why he's so likable.

[coltsrule5150]

i love this man

no gayness about it or nothing but i could sit and listen to him for hours and hours and hours

and the awesome thing about maybe the most awesome

is that he would probably love to talk to me for hours and hours and hours

[SuperDrRockzo]

@coltsrule5150 I think that if there was a way to create a pocket of extra time, he would love to talk to everyone in the world. I know I would.

[MrBubbles3120]

as Neil opens the box..."to answer your question ladies...it looks something like that"

[austinkilduff]

It costs $400,000 dollars to launch this rocket, for 12 seconds.

[freedomland11]

He gives "The Bronx" a better name :)

[pacifiedfools]

He is so cool

[Transparentti]

Coolest nerd ever to walk this planet.

[joaopaulofb]

There couldn't be a better guy to run a planetarium.

[Wassamattawityou]

He's like a child with a new toy. LOVE IT! :D

[sunblockquestionmark]

AUHHHHHHHHH!

[BitterCanuck]

Brilliant man, with a wicked sense of humor. 

[SpagsJippy]

man he's just like a kid with this stuff! what an amazing man

[kungfuchicken98]

I love this guy

[cannedkitty]

not really a real astrophysics, just a 'magic negro' to dumb down astronomy for white people who dont want to seem racist. i'm an astronomy student and this ape nigger doesn't deserve any kind of admiration

[Xezukaful]

@cannedkitty You're an astronomy student like the crack addict down the street has a Doctorate in Medicine. Fuckin' idiot.

[nothingtoyouatall]

@cannedkitty go swallow a knife and a handful of razor blades racist troll piece of excrement ,i'd say i hope you get cancer and die painfully but you already ARE cancer ......fucking un-human tumor and nobody believes that you're a astronomy student you pathetic fuckwit.

[avalsonline2]

@cannedkitty hey bubba, go fuck yourself

[Jotto999]

NDT makes me glad to be part of these homo sapiens.

[teeks99]

6.6 Million Pounds of fuel (100,000lbs payload to Trans-Lunar Orbit). At $4 a gallon that's $26M. However, it doesn't use gasoline...

It uses rocket grade kerosene (RP-1)(first stage), Liquid Oxygen (all stages), and Liquid Hydrogen (2nd and 3rd stages). These are probably a bit more expensive.

Even if we multiplied the fuel price times four (way overshooting), that's only $100M.

However, that is only part of the overall $8 billion price of each one. (1.25%)

[yrogerg123]

Yes it's heavy but it does not matter. It's the Saturn V Rocket. Are we clear?

[notter101]

Damn! he's got a huge rocket! ;p

[Core94]

Neil deGrasse Tyson uses Klein screwdrivers!

[haljackey]

What a geek :-)

[neshi3]

WTF ... !!! Why is this not awailable on mobile???? WTF!!!

[ilytopy]

WHO ON EARTH WOULD DISLIKE THIS?!

[kinakuta81]

@ilytopy Creationists. Damn them.

[Styx9001]

@ilytopy BECAUSE I HATE ROCKETS FOR SOME REASON!!!

[success465]

@ilytopy must have miss the like button

[Bladezki]

@ilytopy Nobody. Celestia already sent those trolls to the moon.

[sonic246897531]

@Bladezki Trollestia strikes again.

[thomasthuyaaung]

@ilytopy Russians

[ilytopy]

@thomasthuyaaung bahahaha

[GowanBray]

@ilytopy Good question, but I sugggest that this gives us a pretty good idea of the incidence of mistaken "likes". I know very very seldom I have hit the wrong button. so maybe around 7 per 1000 is the false negative rate ?

[TheGrannda]

@ilytopy fundamentalistic, radical religios people. 'nuff said.

[bigleonard1984]

@ilytopy 15 cunts.

[carultch]

@ilytopy Bart Sibrel and his team of loony conspiracy theorists.

[shadowVX]

@ilytopy creationist hah!

[dilton7]

It feels better if you assume he is talking about his penis

[soap1st]

spacecraft take high purified jet fuel. its like the purest fuel on earth, its alsmot the most explodable.

[QBisbest]

When I'm going for my PhD this man's picture will be on my wall for inspiration.

[lleeroy]

Am I the only one who legitimately believes that he sounds like Seth Rogen?

[BurnAfterRolling101]

@lleeroy

Seth Rogan sounds like HIM.

[fangslayer]

Anyone know where I could get one? =P

[kidkong584]

he would make the best dad.

[TishBracken]

He really knows how to handle something that size.

[iexusuxei]

@UBERxL33T Because something that awesome needs protection.

[Dihan22]

you got all the power tools you need

[cutes22]

They need to get a room

[HamGreenandEggs]

@UBERxL33T Why not they all work together. They're probably just friends.

[theindependentreview]

Ladies, this is the King Nerd. Do you want him to show you his rocket?

[malibar1]

hes so cute when he gets his new little science toys

[NetoSilveira]

Neil deGrasse for president!

[Zombie1990]

He's got such nerdy enthusiasm... I love this fucking guy.

[cjwtech]

Zelda Item theme

[myownschadenfreude]

So I sat through a mormon ad to get here. Worth it.

[H1sShadow]

@myownschadenfreude best comment ever!

[lanamal]

Fucking Mormon commercial before this.

[angonbing]

i love this guy! Neil deGrasse Tyson is my hero!

[mikeyseverson]

neil is awesome, I hope he ends up hosting cosmos soon!

[mannyftw]

He loves it so much, it makes my insides fuzzy.

[Dittlelifferent]

hahah he is wrong about the saturn 5 designation. there are 5 engines on it, but that is not why it is called the S5.

[JRCrowley]

@Dittlelifferent He's wrong about a lot of things, but most people just blindly worship these guys like he's Jesus Christ or something. Maybe it's because he's black.

[Dittlelifferent]

@JRCrowley i also dont understand it. people love him for some reason. and i think he only needs 2 names.

[cagnazzo82]

If you get anything less than an A in this guys class, just do yourself a favor and shoot yourself.

[slacker4rent]

The Moon of earth is not another world.

It's a Moon

[stupidfool91]

@slacker4rent Figuratively speaking

[TheClassyHat]

@slacker4rent It all comes down to perspective really, like how the Spanish coming to the Americas was like exploring another world to them.

[krow684]

Okay, not that I have any problems with what he said. Sure, he is a good natured guy. But that lady must have had a couple glasses of wine because according to her every word Neil utters is comic gold. Also, gas at the pump is a moot comparison because NASA rockets use a different kind of fuel.

[TheFuhrerinator]

@krow684 Shut up, no once cares.

[yoshaki]

The maintenance guy in the back doesn't look to impressed.

[fillepo]

take me neil!!!

[xxzigzagxx11]

i just learned more in 4 minutes than i did in high school

[DR000]

@xxzigzagxx11

Then you should have paid attention in high school, bro.

[BaconMotherfucker]

What's with the ladies in the background laughing? What's so funny?

[puscifer10000]

@BaconMotherfucker they're probably laughing because Neil is cute, hilarious, and smart and they adore him;

[BaconMotherfucker]

@puscifer10000 Oh, don't we all? He's sexy as fuck.

[ilam3d]

Astrophysicist With strong triceps?! Goddamn.

[soap1st]

@ilam3d lol ikr lol , he is awsome tho

[ellister17]

I thought this was going to be a rocket as in explosive

[crottc]

The crowning achievement of human enginuity and fufillment of dreams .... THUS FAR =]

[Yakriiii]

@crottc We really should have one-upped this by now.

MOAR MONIES TO NASSA.

[Apjooz]

@Yakriiii

Schwiit pronancuachioon brozski.

[movezig1]

I love this man!!

[987654321bang]

[MrMadness87]

[spoallerutz]

Women, STOP FUCKING LAUGHING!

[axis462]

LOOK AT HIS ARMS.

[Lwl209]

"Yes its heavy. But it doesn't matter. It's a Saturn V rocket."

[Darkdawg18]

I really didnt need a mormonism commercial before this video....

[bugilt]

NDT makes everything more interesting.

[kingofallthieves]

At 01:29 it becomes his cock

[pokermon87]

@kingofallthieves It's too short for a black cock

[TheSupergranny7]

I love this Man!

[mtanyc]

Those stupid women laughing at him..WTF!

[CyberSpectrumND]

@mtanyc Umm...  he's doing funny things... like making jokes?

[jscotti]

Cool - but the paint job on the Saturn V isn't quite right....

[cdubsak]

...like a kid at Christmas, hah.

If I had a science teacher as enthusiastic as Neil Degrasse-Tyson, I would've never missed a class.

[prodigy00073]

He's like a kid .. I love it !!! lol

[nojoek152]

I once heard that the Saturn V rocket at launch get about 5 feet per gallon of feul.

[BrotherAlpha]

I've often wondered if we could build another Saturn 5 and return to the moon. Obviously we still have the technical no how, but do we still have the infrastructure to do it?

[aeroeng314]

Just in case no one's said this yet, to answer the question posed in the video, each F-1 engine in the first stage of the Saturn V consumed consumed about 670 gallons of propellant each second meaning a total of about 3350 gallons of propellant was consumed each second. This thing was a beast.

[MrTenshihanQuinn]

At 1:33

"Hey Neil - is that a rocket in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"

...err, ...umm, ...nevermind...

[denton3737]

I want to go back to college to take one of his classes.

[jogz699]

He sure knows how to carry something of that calibur :P

[crackorjackzors]

Neil, you sexy mother fucker.

[MondrosenPrime]

I lost it when he hugged the model after a lady said "And you have a model in your office?" AWWW

[MondrosenPrime]

Damn I got ladyboners from this video.

[btl743]

I just want him to talk, and never stop.

[Stormrider1967]

The Saturn V burned 960,000 gallons of liquid fuel which comes out to around 18,062 gallons burned per mile travelled.

[Cruzifer07]

He's so funny.

Haha.

Science + Sense of Humor = Awesome!

[Zantaer]

NINTENDO 64!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ewtng]

I love the Theatrical Commentary Neil !!

[un2mensch]

First time I've ever seen Neil not wearing a suit!

[LilDrummerBoy74]

Hes like a little kid at christmas! :D

[stoodstilltoolong]

f1 motors burn 2 tons of liquid Oxygen and 1 ton of kerosene per SECOND

about $10k per second at $4 gal, but we know liq O2 and Kerosene dont go for $4 gal

paints a picture though eh?!!?

[MightySaturn5]

lol, cool guy

[1truemisfit]

He's like a child @ Christmas!
