Neil deGrasse Tyson Makes Space Burgers with George Motz | Burger Bucket List

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and Burger Scholar George Motz are teaming up to make the ultimate burger for space! After visiting NASA's Food Laboratory in Houston and trying their burger, Motz is determined to cook a better version for astronauts. Using his deep knowledge about the regional American hamburger, as well as a scientific approach to overcome the challenges of making food for space, will his freeze-dried burger pass the Neil deGrasse Tyson taste-test? Stay tuned as we explore the intersection between the cosmos and burger-verse, and learn what George Motz's perfect burger would be to send to future lifeforms. We humans are stardust. Can the same be said of the hamburger?

*Like if you think George Motz is a national treasure*

Fun Fact: Burgers are better in space because they're meteor!

“It’s squishy, but the side that’s toasted is not squishy, so that there’s a difference in texture between the two” that’s why they pay Neil the big bucks

Neil busting George's chops (both literally and figuratively) is pure comedy gold ❤

[FirstWeFeast]

Like if you knew, deep within your soul, that George would burn himself

These two actually have such a good unintentional chemistry together! Great collab! 😂

Neil seems like the kind of hang who would give you some really cool insightful stuff to think about but who would wear out his welcome extremely quickly 😆

Watching George and Neil together is way better than i expected and i want more

12:06 The way Neil bit onto that half burger sideways is something I'll never forget for the rest of my life.

Anything George says -
Neil : " Well actually .... "

God I cannot get enough of motz interacting with celebs, the ending had me actually laugh out loud.

I love how this started out with Neil correcting George. On brand Neil, on brand.

"Grease is a condiment!!!!" Best quote EVER!

[gelusvenn]

I genuinely enjoyed the moments where you could tell that Neil was like 'Oh hey I hadn't thought of that'. He gets that 'oh' or 'woah' or 'wow' or whatever and you can tell he's genuinely excited for the exchange of ideas. He has some bad habits, but the guy really likes learning. George was George, and much like a simple burger, that is *exactly* as it should be.

These types of videos bring me such joy. Watching a burger master and a Astrophysicist eat burgers is not something I ever thought I'd see.

The ending with Neil beaming away and it just shows Neil running off camera was funny. 🤣

[ridedifferent]

Two dudes who absolutely LOVE what they do. Cant wait to watch 🤓

[jakebenoit]

Neil, that explanation about utils was just amazing. You all have to understand he can't help it and it is truly awesome.

[vorlauf]

These two across the country learning about burgers and science is a show. This was great
