tide goes in... tide goes out.
Neil can explain that.
-
Neil and all the other scientists in this field that have this amount of passion for what they do are my biggest heroes
-
Neil has the a sort of fatigue in this interview in his response to his questions. This interviewer either was attempting to elicit Tyson's more blunt side or was genuinely rubbing him a bit crude (IMO). Tyson seems a bit labored in the beginning of this interview, he definitely isn't having as much fun as an interview with Colbert but nonetheless, he's got savoir faire in science and communication; what else would you expect from someone who grew up in a smart family from the Bronx?

Sounds about right :)

@MudHut67 I think curt was the right word. Tyson can be a bit rude; he's just very good at making his rudeness charming.
-
When?
-
curt is typically rude, concise is the word you were looking for.
-
Neil was great as usual but did anyone else notice how awesome this interviewer was?
-
@eahazell Kneel before Neil!
-
I could not agree with everything Neil says more, but he is so obnoxious sometimes...

Neil is so wise, he is an inspiration to scientists and engineers everywhere. If the politians of the world had his mindset we would revolutionize our rate of progress. His passion about history is contagious because he really conveys the POINT of studying history, which is not just to study it but to LEARN from it and adjust our thinking.
