Anything with Neil DeGrasse Tyson is always relevant :) Thanks for the links
Neil DeGrasse Tyson is my favorite. He should run for President.
Also I just bought his new book, Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier, and don't forget that he has a weekly podcast called Star Talk Radio (http://www.startalkradio.net/) check it out!
Dr. Tyson gives his normal brilliant take on UFO's and suggests what you should do next time you get abducted by aliens in order to ensure people believe you.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSJElZ...
To continue the Dr. Tyson video fest.
This past autumn, my sister and I visted NYC and attempted to track down Dr. Tyson at the Hayden Planetarium as we are both fans of his. No luck though. And shame of Dr. Tyson for what he did to Pluto (I kid)
We were once dreamers, creators, builders. Now we are passive consumers, feeding on the dreams and creations of others. We have become parasites, content to allow someone else to determine our paths, to dictate our futures.

I'll add another to the linkfest since it seems to be everywhere lately: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D05ej...
What surprises me is that they can actually find 25 Senators smart enough to make up a Science Committee. Perhaps the 4 who showed up are the only ones who make the grade :)
I love, love, LOVE Neil DeGrasse Tyson so much. That is all.
Let's elect people like Neil deGrasse Tyson to public office.

To quote tumblrpigeon:
Wednesday, Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson and NASA head Charles Bolden presented speeches on the importance of science funding in our country to the U.S. Senate Committee of Science. Only 4 out of the 25 members of the Senate Science Committee even bothered to show up
If you’re not going to be present when two of the most influential people to the STEM fields are there to present their 5 minute speeches, maybe you shouldn’t be on the damn Senate Science committee. I hope every one of those senators loses their job
STEM = science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
