He should be president of the world.

Neil is so genuine and always on the spot and the core of the problem .I find him breathtakingly inspirational. You know someone is talking interesting and smart stuff when you just can't get enough and always watch him with a sort of smile.

[internetmasterpieces]

Typically i would praise Neil deGrasse Tyson for the great answers, but this time I'd especially like to say thank you to the interviewer for his extremely professional work and great questions. Thanks to them both we have such a great interview.

[Sergio Martinez]

Beautiful interview. Excellent job from both!

There are people who are SERIOUSLY angry with him for taking "planet" status away from Pluto, but it was either that or include over 1,000 other Kieper belt objects as "planets".

I honest to god never knew Pluto was smaller than our moon...
