2007: Space and society (Tyson)

A keynote speech at the 50th Anniverary of the Space Age event was made by Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History.

All cultures throughout history have asked the question "Why are we here?". Culture could be defined as "what we take for granted". Space is becoming part of modern culture.

I once heard that Chuck Norris defeated a bear. But it is a scientifically observed fact that Neil deGrasse Tyson defeated a bear, while giving a lecture on Newtonian Mechanics.
