"As the area of our knowledge grows, so does the perimeter of our ignorance." I just LOVE Neil deGrasse Tyson!

Neil deGrasse Tyson rules! Loved his story about him meeting Carl Sagan as a young boy in another interview. He sure carries on the torch handed to him after Sagan died. Not only the series Cosmos but also to educate the public in a way even I can understand!

He doesn't teach us stuff, he invites us to learn. Respect

[dieHetster]

This guy is truly special. Love listening to him.

[amberfuchscia]

I think it is just marvelous that so many of us admire NDT. He has long been my second favorite physicist...my first is my son.

[maureenseel]

I love him. Genius who brings the cosmos down to earth and makes hard to understand topics fascinating and easier to grasp. One of my favorite humans... And a genius

[sharisp]

His passion and his energy are contagious, this man is truly living his purpose, and thank God we are all alive and blessed enough to live during his lifetime! 😊

How can someone be so energetic all the time.. i love this man !

[Weah]

Listening to Neil talk never gets old, everytime i hear him explain something; I always feel like I've learned something new or come out w/ a new understanding of a subject I thought I knew.

[danielmango]

It’s amazing to see Stephen’s face light up the moment before he announces Neil’s name. And the audience as well!! Everyone lights up to see Neil

[NewMessage]

In some version of the multiverse, the WHOLE audience stood.

[danimation]

I feel like everytime ndt says “universe”, the universe blushes.

Neil’s enthusiasm makes nerdy science exciting.
