I don't want to die ... I don't want to die poor. Two great motivators in the history of human cultures.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
In science, if you don't do it, somebody else will. Whereas in art, if Beethoven didn't compose the 'Ninth Symphony,' no one else before or after is going to compose the 'Ninth Symphony' that he composed no one else is going to paint 'Starry Night' by van Gogh.

I think that intelligence is such a narrow branch of the tree of life - this branch of primates we call humans. No other animal, by our definition, can be considered intelligent. So intelligence can't be all that important for survival, because there are so many animals that don't have what we call intelligence, and they're surviving just fine.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The discovery of any kind of life [in Space] at all would be a tremendous watershed moment in biology, as well as all of science.

Neil deGrasse Tyson
In the New Testament, Thomas Jefferson cut out everything that was mystical, magical, miracle - physically with scissors - and then pasted in all that remained, such as Jesus's Sermon on the Mount.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The history of exploration across nations and across time is not one where nations said, 'Let's explore because it's fun.' It was, 'Let's explore so that we can claim lands for our country, so that we can open up new trade routes let's explore so we can become more powerful.'
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Aliens might be surprised to learn that in a cosmos with limitless starlight, humans kill for energy sources buried in the sand
Neil deGrasse Tyson
While I'm a big fan of science fiction, especially as rendered in expensive Hollywood blockbusters, it's the real universe that calls to me. To fall into a black hole, that is more amazing than anything I've ever read in a science-fiction story.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I'm not hard to find. I'm all over the Internet.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
One of the things that fascinates me most is when people are so charmed by the universe that it becomes part of their artistic output.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I try to educate the public and let them make the decisions for themselves.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If something comes up that is completely freaky, it's spiritual-looking to the scientist, the first explanation is not going to be that it's God, because the history of that has failed. It would have to be, like, the hundredth explanation.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
We are in the universe and the universe is in us.

NASA has spin-offs, and it's a huge and very impressive list, including accurate and affordable LASIK eye surgery.
