Niel deGrasse Tyson has one of the most beautiful minds I've had the pleasure of hearing.

[Robert Pruitt]

The Tyson-Colbert Independent ticket.

I'd vote for them.

[Johnny Bravo]

I honestly REALLY like NDT but I think he is performing a bit of an act our routine in these interviews. Like the way a stand up comedian would - not saying he doesn't know his shit, it is just rehearsed. All his videos he says the same stuff. Yes most of it is awesome, profound stuff, but its the same thing over n over.

[Heidi Origer]

Neil Degrasse Tyson is such a likable guy. He makes you want to laugh when he laughs, and you catch yourself smiling during the whole video.

We got a badass over here...

[Joshua Loyd]

dont quote this. But, we are the universe, and we are universally related, and we will one day find we are probably related to the life we will find in our universe.

[Joshua Loyd]

when you learn all the math that makes up E=mc2 then you can understand that it is not theory it plays out when we appreciate the sun and our own earth, our earth is made up of dead starts, and so do other planets. It really is beautiful.

[ThatsWaddlesToYou]

...how dare you misspell the name of one of the most intelligent men to grace this Earth.

[secretnameforyourmom]

Too bad apothis isn't happening anymore

I've never watched Colbert so I never knew what a good interviewer he is. I expected him to be wisecracking throughout the conversation but he seemed to be very well informed. deGrasse Tyson was as eloquent as always.

[dirtymonkey03]

He is right, here in the US people want actions that will make money in a short period of time and not actions that will take time but also make profits and change the world. We are blinded by money, a product of our imagination.
