Neil deGrasse Tyson
The greatest of people that have ever been in society, they were never versions of someone else. They were themselves.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Even with all our technology and the inventions that make modern life so much easier than it once was, it takes just one big natural disaster to wipe all that away and remind us that, here on Earth, we're still at the mercy of nature.
